Linnia California Giants 
TO GROW EXTRA LARGE ZINNIAS 
Thin so the plants are twelve to fifteen inches apart in the row and 
Place the rows three feet apart for the giant types and two feet apart 
for the small varieties. Plant the seed one-half inch deep, twenty to 
twenty-five seeds to the foot of row. 
Do not plant until all danger from frost is past and do not plant 
nearer any trees than the height of the tree. Never plant where they 
will be shaded. They do the best on very rich soil. Cultivate and 
water frequently. Dust with finely ground sulphur when the plants 
are beginning to bud; at the rate of one-half pound to the square rod 
to avoid mildew.

® The California Giant type of Zinnia is winning a very prominent 
place with florists and with those who take great interest in the 
growing of a fine home flower garden. 
The enormous double flowers are borne on long stems. As com- 
pared with the Dahlia Flowered Zinnia, the petals are longer, more 
soft and wavy instead of being cupped. The Dahlia Flowered is 
very deep from top to bottom, while the California Giant is some- 
what flattened. When well grown, the average flower is from 5 to 6 
inches across, with many growing to 7 inches under favorable con- 
ditions. Centers very small and most of the colors carrying a beau- 
tiful two-tone effect, shading to a darker color at the center of 
the flower.
