 "> 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

Zinnia Haageana 

 "Perfection." 



ZINNIA HAAGEANA 

 "PERFECTION." 



4481 We had a line of this in our trial 

 grounds a year ago which proved 

 to be one of the most distinct 

 and meritorious of the many 

 novelties on trial, and which 

 was noted and much ad- 

 mired 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 bj as 

 much through, with fine foli 

 age, and bears a multitude of 

 very double flowers, about ] .', 

 inches across in a most unusual 

 range of colors, including rose-tipped 

 canary yellow, maroon-tipped 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 flouris' l i in any sunny location, 

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