CURRIES GIANT DAHLIA-FLOWERED 

 ZINNIAS 



3 to 4 Feet 



The densely double flowers covering a wide range of 

 beautiful colors are of immense size, often measuring- 

 six inches in diameter, and are borne freely on stout 

 stems. 



BUTTERCUP — An immense deep creamy yellow. A 

 very desirable flower, which should be included in 

 every collection. 



CANARY BIRD— A delicate shade of primrose — very 

 large and holds its color well until out of bloom. 

 CRIMSON MONARCH— By far the largest and best 

 of the red shades. Flowers often 8 inches in diameter. 

 Plants very vigorous. A marvelous production of ex- 

 traordinary merit. 



DREAM — A fine, deep lavender, turning to purple 

 (Mallow Purple) a new, desirable shade of Zinnias. 

 EXQUISITE— By far the most pleasing of our collec- 

 tion. Truly Dahlia flowered as regards form and size. 

 Color light rose with center a deep rose (Tyrian Rose). 

 GOLDEN DAWN— This beautiful shade of golden- 

 yellow comes true to color and form. 

 GOLDEN STATE— A very rich orange-yellow (Cad- 

 mium). Yellow in the bud, turning to an attractive 

 orange, when in full bloom. 



ILLUMINATION— Similar to Exquisite, but a strik- 

 ing self color of deep rose (Tyrian Rose). 

 LEMON BEAUTY— This is next to Crimson Monarch 

 in size and form. It may be described as a golden- 

 yellow on brown. Decidedly a pastel shade, and should 

 be in every collection. 



LUMINOSA — A new shade of clear, bright pink. 

 METEOR— A rich, glowing deep red (Spinal Red) and 

 the darkest of all the red shades. Fine form, with good 

 depth of petal. Very large and more floriferous than 

 other reds. 



ORIOLE — We consider this the most beautiful of its 

 class. It is an immense orange and gold bicolor, chang- 

 ing slightly as it ages, but at all times worthy of the 

 beautiful bird for which it is named. 

 POLAR BEAR — A very large pure white, the best 

 white yet seen in Zinnias. 



CURRIES CALIFORNIA GIANT 

 DOUBLE ZINNIAS 



3 to 4 Feet 



They are larger than Colossal and a cross between 

 them and the Dahlia flowered types. They have 

 smaller flat centers with more loosely placed petals. 

 The petals are decidedly imbricated and the flower 

 from bud to full bloom presents a graceful appear- 

 ance. 



Cerise Queen — Beautiful cerise rose. 

 Lemon Queen— The petals are light canary on the 

 upper and cerise on the lower side, the two shades 

 blending as the flower develops. It is the only Zinnia 

 with fragrance. 

 Miss Willmott— Soft pink. 

 Orange Queen — Golden yellow. 

 Salmon King — Salmon pink. 

 Scarlet King — Bright scarlet.

 ous shades of rose and lilac on the under side, pro- 

 ducing a pleasing effect. V 6 oz., 35c Pkt. 15c 



NEW ZINNIA 



( Cut-and-Come- Again Pinkie) 



Medium sized flowers of a light Rose-Pink with long- 

 stems especially suitable for cut flowers and for mass- 

 ing in the garden. A continuous succession of blooms 

 are produced throughout the summer, making the 

 name Cut-and-Come-Again most appropriate . Pkt. 20c 



SCABIOSA FLOWERED 



Mixed. 2% ft. A new form. On a single corona of outside 

 petals stands a semi-globular crown with a large number of small 

 florets giving a most interesting effect, similar in form to the 

 flowers of the Scnbiosa. Although the reproduction from seeds is 

 not yet quite true, it will meet with favor Pkt. 25c
