Fraser’s California Mission Zinnias 
Giant Mission Zinnia, Balloon Flowered Type, 
double, robusta grandiilora 
A choice strain of the finest and most brilliant colors which 
range through varying shades of yellow, orange, pink, rose 
scarlet crimson and lavender; also white. Double Giants are 
an improved strain of Zinnias, often measuring 6 inches in 
diameter. Glorious huge flowers in colors that will brighten 
any garden—what could be more desirable than these Double 
Giant Zinnias? They are so easily grown and make a bril¬ 
liant display from midsummer until frost. The individual 
blooms are massive and well formed. They are carried on 
strong stems and, therefore, are valued as much for cutting 
as for garden display. Suited for the mixed border and solid 
beds of color.

The Zinnia is possibly more at home in the United States 
than any other flower. It is sun-loving, very easy to grow and 
a favorite in thousands of gardens. We wish to stress the 
fact that our Zinnias are absolutely the best strains in exist¬ 
ence. The Zinnia is strictly a hot weather plant and should 
not be planted until March. Plantings may be continued 
throughout the Summer as late as July. 
CULTURE—Plant after all danger of frost is over. The seed 
should be planted about one-half inch deep and the seed 
bed covered with a mulch of agricultural peat moss or grass 
to conserve the top moisture. Plant in rich soil in rows at 
least three feet apart and thin out plants so they are about 
12 inches apart. Never plant Zinnias in the shade, as they 
delight in the full sunshine. Keep the rows free and clean 
from Grass and weeds and cultivate and irrigate often. If 
you follow these instructions we know your efforts will be 
rewarded.
