e The California Giant type of zinnia has won a very prominent 
place with florists and with those who take great interest in the 
growing of a fine home flower garden. : 
The enormous double flowers are borne on long stems. As com- 
pared with the Dahlia Flowered Zinnia, the petals are longer, 
more soft and wavy instead of being cupped. The Dahlia Flowered 
is very deep from top to bottom, while the California Giant is 
somewhat flattened. When well grown, the average flower is from 
5 to 6 inches across, with many growing to 7 inches under favor- 
able conditions. Centers very small and most of the colors carry- 
ing a beautiful two-tone effect, shading to a darker color at the 
center of the flower.
