7179 Breck’s Giant Mixed 
Breck's California Giants 
The plants of this group reach a 
height of 3 feet, with long, strong stems 
which are particularly adapted for 
cutting. Flowers are very large and 
well formed, with a smooth-topped, 
graceful appearance, the petals lying 
flat upon each other. The superior luster 
which the flowers have is probably due 
to a higher degree of light reflection 
from the symmetrically placed petals. 
Blooming in about 60 days from plant¬ 
ing-time, Breck’s California Giants are 
oustanding garden subjects.

Breck's Zinnias 
No garden of annual flowers could get along without a bed of 
Zinnias. The big, bold plants bear blooms of many bright colors, 
long lasting and freely produced. They are as easy to grow as 
anything, affording never-ending pleasure from the time they 
come into bloom until frost. Like all other popular flowers, many 
distinct types have been developed, some bearing flowers of 
enormous size and others which are jewel-like miniatures of their 
larger brothers and sisters. 
Until the advent of the Dahlia-flowered types, the Giants listed 
below were the largest and showiest. Now, of course, the Dahlia- 
flowered and California Giant types are the royalty of the race 
in size of bloom, stature, and in glorious colors. No garden of 
annual flowers is complete without Zinnias. The many types fit 
every garden need, producing massive color effects or dainty 
miniature borders according to the type selected.
