ZINNIAS, Curled and Crested—The most beautiful and showy type of Zin- 
nias that has yet been introduced. The flowers are free from the old stiffness 
and dull colors and coarseness of the old variety. The petals are daintily 
curled or crinkled, which gives a softness to the flower heretofore unknown. 
They grow to the height of 2 feet, are very double, and range through all the 
brilliant shades of red and yellow, orange, as well as the terra-cottas, old pink, 
canary, white, flesh, old gold with variegations, with charming combinations 
too numerous to mention. No flower on the list of annuals is more satisfac- 
tory for gorgeous effects and continuous blooming than these beautiful Zin- 
nias. Too much cannot be said in their praise. They are fine for cut flowesr 
or decoration, and pretty for the corsage. They keep for weeks, and bloom 
from the time they are one foot high in June until October. Splendid mixed,
