FLORISTS’ ZINNIAS 
Bodger’s “Gold Medal” Zinnias for 
Cut Flowers and Garden 
Few flowers have exhibited greater improvement at 
the hands of hybridizers than the Zinnias, and their im- 
provement has been matched with a corresponding 
increase in public favor. For those getting started with 
Zinnias, it should be emphasized that the nature of the 
plants demands plenty of warmth. This is explained by 
the fact they are native of Mexico. 
By sowing outdoors in May and as late as August 
Ist, in well enriched soil and protected with water, they 
can be had in fine shape right up to frost.
