A special strain of this giaiid old favorite free and continuous flowering

 5 to 6 inches across being not unusual. Plants are of extremely robust 

 habit, attaining a height of about 3 feet, and bearing on long, strong stems 

 numerous semi-globular, mostly very double flowers, all of the largest size, 

 making them of great value in large beds, borders, etc.; grown under 

 favorable conditions they remain in bloom from early summer to late autumn.

 splendid mixture of many colors, as under:

Dreer's Improved t,arge-flo^'ering 

 D^arf Double Zinnias. 



This we consider the best type for general use, forming bushy, compact 

 plants not over 2 feet high, and bearing perfect double flowers as large as the 

 taller-growing sorts. We can supply in seven distinct colors, which are ofTered 

 on page 113.

Zinnia Haageana 

 "Perfection." 



Zinnia Haag^eana 

 " Perfection." 



4481 We had a line of this in our 

 trial grounds which proved to 

 be one of the most distinct and 

 meritorious of the many novel- 

 ties on trial, and which was 

 noted and much admired by 

 many visitors. The seed was 

 sown April 29th, came into 

 bloom June 25th, and was never 

 out of flower until hard frost, 

 early in November, a period of 

 over four months. The plant is 

 of dwarf, compact growth, 9 to 

 10 inches high by as much 

 through, with fine foliage, and 

 bears a multitude of very double 

 flowers, about IJ inches across 

 in a most unusual range of 

 colors, including rose-tipped 

 canary-yellow, maroon-t i p p e d 

 cream-yellow and wallflower-red, velvety 

 garnet, etc., and altogether makes as pretty 

 a border as anything of recent introduction. 

 It should also prove useful in filling baskets, 

 vases, etc. Like other Zinnias, it will 

 grow and flourish in any sunny location. 

 15 cts. per pkt.; 2 pkts., 25 cts.
