The incurved effect of petals and the “Cupped” center char- 
acterize the Dahlia Flowered type of Zinnias. We recommend 
and find them the most popular largely because varieties in 
this class are very uniform in color and fully double type. 
EVERY RETAIL GROWER CAN 
MAKE PROFIT FROM ZINNIAS 
If sheltered from the trying out-door conditions of summer, 
Zinnias are grown into attractive cutting material, particularly 
the Pompons or Lilliputs. Either a cloth or greenhouse can 
produce flowers that no out-door stock will compete with, Such 
protection produces longer stems and larger flowers. While they 
are easily grown on by sowing in the open soon as the soil be- 
comes well warmed, many gardeners will buy well started 
plants that are as easily produced under glass as any plants can 
be. Also in our latitude if sown outdoors as late as mid-July, 
they will flower freely before frost. Zinnias are warm tempera- 
ture plants. If the seed is sown in cold, wet soil, it will rot. 
The development of Zinnias from the small, high-centered 
singles of 50 years back to the beautiful forms and colors of 
today has been a real miracle. To maintain the trueness to 
color of today’s stock requires much careful work. Most seed 
growers do this work well, a few do not. Thru our annual 
trials of ALL varieties and personal inspection of seed fields, 
we are able to offer “All the Best—Nothing Else” in florists’ 
Zinnias. 
DAHLIA-FLOWERED CLASS (2500 seeds per ounce) 
The center petals of this class tend to incurve, giving the flower a somewhat deeper and fuller effect than the Cali- 
fornia Giants. While this character isn’t a fixed one, it does predominate, making the Dahlia-Flowered the gener- 
ally preferred class in the large flowered types.
