THERE’S MONEY IN ZINNIAS FOR 
EVERY RETAIL GROWER 
lf sheltered from the trying outdoor conditions of summer, 
Zinnias can be grown into attractive cutting material—par- 
ticularly the Pompons or Lilliputs. Either a cloth or green- 
house can produce flowers that no outdoor stock will compete 
with. Such protection produces longer stems and _ larger 
flowers. While they are easily grown by sowing in the open 
as soon as the soil becomes well warmed, many gardeners 
prefer well started plants that are as easily produced under 
glass as any plants can be. Also, in our latitude, if sown out- 
doors as late as July, they will flower freely before frost. 
Zinnias are warm temperature plants; if the seed is sown in 
cold, wet soil, it will rot. 
The development of Zinnias from the small, high centered 
singles of 50 years ago to the beautiful forms and colors of 
today has been almost a miracle. To maintain the trueness 
to type of today’s stock requires much careful work. Most 
seed growers do this work well. Thru our annual trials of all 
varieties and personal inspection of seed fields, we are able to 
offer ‘‘All the Best—Nothing Else”’ in florists’ Zinnias.
