‘Flower Seeds for Florists” 
FLORISTS’ ZINNIAS 
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 Pom- 
pons or Lilliputs. Either a cloth or greenhouse can produce flowers 
that no outdoor stock will compete with. Such protection produces 
longer stems and larger flowers. While they are easily grown on 
by sowing in the open as soon as the soil becomes well warmed, 
many gardeners will buy well started plants that are as easily pro- 
duced 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 temperature 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. 
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.
