A. BLAZE ZINNIA—All-America 
Winner for 1954 
Blaze bursts into bloom with a profusion of 
brilliant mandarin-red flowers and, as the flow- 
ers attain size, change to an exciting fiery 
orange-scarlet—a color that will brighten any 
spot in your garden or home. The brilliant, rare 
coloring of flaming red and orange radiates 
from the informal, fluffy, quilled petaled, double 
flowers that grow 5 in. across. Good cutting 
stems make Blaze highly desirable for cutting. 
Blaze Zinnia is the only flower to receive an 
award in the All-America selections for 1954. 
Plants are strong growing, very uniform, 21/2 
to 3 ft. tall and sure to attract attention where 
ever grown. Pkt. 35c. 
Wood’s Giant Zinnias 
Few garden annuals are more thoroughly satisfactory than zinnias, particularly since in recent years 
greatly improved larger flowering and brilliantly colored strains have been developed. For bedding, 
for borders and for cut flowers, they furnish a wealth of blooms from early summer till late in the 
fall. Plant early in rows 12 to 2 feet apart and cover about 4 inch deep; or start indoors and 
transplant outside when the ground is warm. Hardy annual.
