Fashionable Zinnia.

Zinnias have come into great popularity this summer. Their popularity began, in fact, last winter, when Futurist designs, and colors first came in. There is a stiffness and rigidity of form about zinnias that harmonizes with designs formed of cubes and triangles. And the bright, clear colors of this flower suggest those in the giddiest futurist silk. Hence the popularity of the zinnia for corsage bouquets, hat and frock trimming in its artificial form, and for household and garden decoration In Its real form.
