Zinnia 
Giant Crested Zinnias are the re- 
sult of many years’ selection work on 
a strain produced by crossing the 
Dahlia-flowered and Scabious-flow- 
ered types. The blossoms average 
from 4 to 5 inches in diameter, with 
a full rounded cushiony center sur- 
rounded by broad guard petals. The 
colors included in the strain are 
charmingly bright and fresh, and con- 
tain almost all known colors and 
shades of color to be found in this 
most popular of annual plants. Mag- 
nificent shades of orange, orange- 
scarlet, yellow, rose, maize and crim- 
son predominate. As a cut flower, or 
as an annual for garden ornamenta- 
tion, they are without peer. The type 
may be expected to reproduce 60 to 
65. per cent true to this large-flow- 
ered crested formation.
