Zinnia Linearis 
T HE most unusual and interesting of the newer Zinnias is the little dwarf 
variety, Linearis. The flowers, which are single, are a lovely shade of golden 
orange, with a delicate lemon yellow stripe through each petal, while the center 
is dark brown in the young flowers, turning golden orange as the flower 
develops. It is early blooming, commencing to flower when the plants are 
about 6 inches tall and keeping on right through the season until the late 
frosts of autumn. It never looks untidy, as the dozens of newly opened flowers 
prevent the faded ones from becoming prominent. The plants reach a height 
of 8 to 10 inches and with plenty of room for development may have a spread 
of as much as 2 feet by the end of the season. Flowers are produced in great 
profusion, literally hundreds being open at a time. Linearis is an extremely 
valuable addition to the list of plants suitable for border or edging use and is 
excellent for window boxes or in any part of the garden where a dwarf growing 
plant with brilliant coloring is desired. It is the longest lasting of all flowers in 
pots, and when cut will last nearly two weeks in water. It will start flowering 
about 10 weeks after seed is sown.
