Zinnias 
Zinnias will provide an abundance of Gorgeous Color from July until frost. Zinnias, the historical 
flowers of Old Mexico, have been favorites in every garden for as long as there have been home gardens. 
In our grandmother’s day, Zinnias were gay and colorful but only the common type, small flowers and 
a few primary colors were to be had. Today, we have Zinnias of huge size, of medium size and the 
tiny little baby types. Through years of scientific work and intense study, our growers have developed 
Zinnias that are almost beyond belief in size and beauty of color.
