ZINNIAS (a) 
Probably no flower has such an assortment of color ranges, sizes and types, and no bedding plant 
is more effective for brilliant show than are the Zinnias. From the little Pompon types to the 
giant Dahlia type, they offer a profusion of bloom from early summer until heavy frost. Sow the 
seed as soon as the ground is warm, in full sun. Almost any kind of soil will do, although well 
worked ground will produce the best flowers. Feed liberally during the summer. Do not wet foliage 
when watering, to prevent mildew. 
CALIFORNIA GIANTS 
OR GIANT MAMMOTHS 
2-3 feet. Fully as large as the Dahlia-flowered 
type, but the petals of the flowers are imbricated 
or are laid back, one over the other, giving the 
flower a flatter appearance. Neither of these two 
giant classes come entirely true, however, to 
these flower effects which differentiate them.

our trial grounds one of the best separate shades 
of Zinnias obtainable for our part of the state.

DAHLIA FLOWERED 
2-3 feet. Extremely robust branching plants, 
producing enormous double flowers on rigid 
stalks. The center petals of this class tend to 
incurve, giving the flower a somewhat deeper 
and fuller effect than the California Giant.

CRIMSON MONARCH—Extra large crimson 
red.
