Zinnia Fantasy Wildfire (Bodger) 
W E HAVE been more than ordinarily pleased with the very rapidly increas¬ 
ing popularity of the Fantasy type of Zinnia. It is one of the most interest¬ 
ing of the newer Zinnia developments, and with its friendly informality is 
certainly maintaining its place as a reigning favorite in the Zinnia family. With 
the addition of separate color varieties, the usefulness of this gaily informal 
flower is greatly enhanced. As a very vivid companion to Star Dust, Rosalie, 
Orange Lady and White Light, we are this year offering Wildfire, a rich, 
dazzling scarlet. Wildfire adds a distinct note of color and cheerfulness to 
the garden and will enliven any home when used in flower arrangements. The 
plants are neat in habit, strong growing and very free blooming, 2^ to 3 feet 
in height, coming into flower 45 to 50 days after the seed is sown. In growing 
this or any other Zinnia, we strongly recommend sowing the seed where the 
plants are to bloom if this is at all possible. Furthermore, when watering, rather 
than use the sprinkler, irrigate by the trench method and let the water run 
slowly for several hours until it has soaked down thoroughly into the ground 
through and beyond the roots. By this method, you will have to water the 
plants only once every two weeks or so if the top soil is properly cultivated 
after each irrigation. Excellent results will be obtained by this method.
