Large, IVIassive Blooms 



The IVIost Beautiful 



of All 



The blooms are very large, often 5 

 inches across (sometimes more) and 

 thick (2 in.) through, like Dahlias. The 

 plants are 3 ft. tall: sturdy, well- 

 branched bushes, the vivid flowers 

 held on long stems above the foliage. 

 Most perfect in form, the Dahlia-Flow- 

 ered Zinnias come in those definite 

 -' bright and vivid colors which the thick, 

 shingle-petalled Zinnia form best dis- 

 plays. 



Grow Better Zinnias 



- Zinnias are so easily grown that 

 they will come up and bloom almost 

 anywhere. They prefer a sunny place 

 with good drainage. Large Zinnias 

 should be set 2 ft. or more apart, small 

 ones about 1 ft. to permit air cir- 

 culation about them. For better 

 Zinnias, work well-rotted manure into 

 the soil about 6 in. from the plants. 

 Cultivate well, and water freely.

While everyone of the six Zinnias in this Col- 

 lection is by itself beautiful, the combination 

 of them together is unsurpassed. There are 

 Canary Bird, Oriole, Exquisite, Dream, Polar 

 Bear, and Crimson Monarch. All of them are 

 large, with the thick form arid overlapping 

 petals that have given these most superb of 

 Zinnias the name, Dahlia-Flowered.

Crimson Monarch 



2056 Buttercup Light yellow, a rich 

 creamy color. The big flowers hold their 

 color well, are beautiful with Dream. 

 2071 Canary Bird Primrose-yellow, the 

 color varying as the flower matures. 

 2055 Crimson Monarch Rich, warm 

 crimson-scarlet. This Zinnia with its 



wealth of large bright blooms, is wonderfully popular. 



2058 Dream Deep lilac-lavender that changes to purple 



as the flowers age. 



2083 Exquisite Light rose, the center deeper in color. This 

 is a remarkable color, the vividness of which is perfectly 

 displayed against the greenness of the foliage. 

 2062 Golden Dawn Golden yellow. The color deepens 

 almost to orange in the newly opened blooms. 



2057 Illumination No other name could so well describe this vivid, luminous color. It is a 



splendid rich rose shade. 



2067 Luminosa Bright deep pink over which there is a light suffusion of salmon making 

 Lurainosa as beautiful a flower as may be desired. Free-flowering, long stemmed. 



2072 Meteor The darkest red of all — rich, deep, and glowing. The color is so deep and so novel 

 that Meteor is often grown just to provide cut flowers. 



2068 Old Gold From pinkish old gold to deep burnished color, there are varying gold shades 

 in a row of this variety. Unusual and very desirable in color and form. 



For color, 



for size of 



flowers, 

 trueness to 

 type, health 



and vigor, 



you cannot 



plant better 



than Maule's 



Zinnias. 



2060 Old Rose Rose blending into ochre yellow. A soft, warm combination rare in 

 flowers — but most desirable both for garden display and cutting. 



2061 Oriole Bright glistening orange shaded with gold. A blooming plant, the huge 

 flowers in contrast to the green foliage, is remarkably showy and vivid. 



2063 Polar Bear Big white flowers. White Zinnias not only make interesting bou- 

 quets, but in combination with others, they lend accent, softening strong colors. 



2073 Scarlet Flame Dazzling scarlet. The opening flowers are brightest orange- 

 scarlet, becoming more intensely red as they mature. A compelling, triumphant color. 



The Dahlia-Flowered Zinnias, separate colors, each: 

 Pkt. 15c; Vg oz. 40c; Vi oz. 70c.

 la-Flowered Zlnralas 



Knowing that many flower lovers with smaller gardens give preference 

 to mixtures over separate colors, this mixture was prepared for them. 

 It is a blend that cannot be outdone — a bed in full bloom is always a 

 surprise and delight in richness of color and gorgeousness of bloom. 

 All the colors described on this page are in the mixture in varying 

 proportions to assure the most pleasing eft'ect. Maule's Dahlia-Zinnia 

 Mixture is justly famous. Pkt. 10c; Vg oz. 40c; 14 oz. 70c. 



Zinnias are perfect 

 for cut flower dis- 

 play. Their stiff 

 stems make them cas^i 

 io arrange. Count- 

 less beautiful com- 

 binations can be 

 made of Zinnias, 

 which may account 

 for their popularity 

 as an artist's subject.
