ZINNIAS 
For summer gardens the Zinnia has 
proven to be one of the most reliable and 
colorful annual flowers grown. It has been 
developed to its present form mostly in 
California so that, among flower seeds, the 
Zinnia is one of this state’s most important 
crops and visitors are impressed by the 
colorful patterns seen in Zinnia fields. 
There are few flowers that surpass the 
Zinnia in display of color and show so 
many interesting and different forms. They 
are durable with plenty of substance to 
withstand heat and dry climate. Combined with this their ease of culture 
makes them suited to generous plantings. You can depend on Zinnias 
for two to three months of useful life in the garden once they start to bloom. 
Many varieties and strains are available but for mass of color the large 
flowered kinds shown here are the most popular. The wide range of colors 
available offers unlimited possibility of color combination in a Zinnia 
garden. For complete list of Zinnias see page 52.
