Zinnia Dahlia Flowered 
No. 167—$1.90 
ZINNIAS*^ 
We have been Zinnia specialists for many years, taking the lead in their 
development ever since our first outstanding Zinnia introduction, the Dahlia 
Flowered strain, which was rightly named a New Flower for the People. This 
type, developed in our experimental department and introduced by us in 1919, 
was the turning point which changed completely the status of the once unpop¬ 
ular Zinnia family. Since this time, we have developed and introduced many 
new types and varieties in the now extremely popular Zinnia group. Many 
additional varieties are in the process of development in our Zinnia workshop 
and will be presented within the course of the next few years. See our Bulletin 
No. 1, The Zinnia and its Uses, for full details on Zinnia Types and Culture. 
TALL, LARGE FLOWERED TYPES 
RODGER’S GOLD MEDAL DAHLIA FLOWERED / (Bodger) (G.M.,R.H.S.’24) 
The Dahlia Flowered strain was introduced by us in 1919, and all the colors 
have been of our introduction at various times since then. 
The plants are of medium height, very robust, bearing many strong 
stems of the fully double, huge flowers which resemble the show type of Dahlia. 
We have marked the most popular varieties with an asterisk (*).
