ZINNIAS 
Each year we try nearly all of the different kinds and colors of Zinnias in order to be sure to 
offer you only those we find to be the best. 
For out-door cut flowers we urge you to use our Giant “Two-Tone” Zinnias, the color range is 
ideal. Fantasy Zinnias are also increasing in popularity for cutting. 
The most extensive use for Zinnias is in growing plants in “flats” for spring sales. Sow seed in 
early April. The Giant Flowered are the most popular and there is an increasing demand for 
separate colors. Pompom Zinnias are next in popularity.
