Half-hardy Annuals.Garden flowers. 6 to 30 inches. 
No garden of annual flowers could get along 
without a bed of Zinnias. The big, bold plants 
bear blooms of many bright colors, long lasting 
and freely produced. They are as easy to grow 
as anything, affording never-ending pleasure 
from the time they come into bloom until frost. 
Like all other popular flowers, many distinct 
types have been developed, some bearing flowers 
of enormous size and others which are jewel-like 
miniatures of their larger brothers and sisters. 
Until the advent of the Dahlia-flowered types, 
the Giants were the largest and showiest. Now, 
of course, the Dahlia-flowered and California 
Giant types are the royalty ol the race in size of 
bloom, stature, and in glorious colors. These, 
together with the less conventional forms like 
“Fantasy” and ‘‘Scabiosa-flowered”’ make up the 
most colorful, the most diversified, and the 
“easiest to grow”’ group of flowers in the world. 
Super Crown O’Gold 
Immense, showy flowers, equal in size to those 
of the California Giant and Dahlia-flowered 
groups and midway between them in form. The 
blooms are made up of broad petals, each of 
which is overlaid with deep golden yellow at the 
base while carrying out the individual flower 
color at the petal tips. This unique flower mark- 
ing so enhances the beauty of these Zinnias that 
they stand out as a really great achievement.
