Cnltural Note: Wliile Zinnias are quite a hardy plant and very easy to grow, it must 

 remembered that they are natives of Mexico and like hot weather and full sunshine. Do n 

 plant too early as when the young plants are subjected to frosts or a period of cold weath^ 

 they receive a check which often causes mis-shapen flowers and also causes extreme var: 

 tions in color.

Zinnia Improved 

 Mexicana Haageana 



31S2. In the mad rush for the large 

 and giant-flowered strains of many 

 of our flowers, the smaller varie- 

 ties have been neglected. This 

 charming little Zinnia has always 

 held a very high place in our es- 

 teem. It is easily grown in almost 

 any location, practically free from 

 insects and blooms continuously 

 until killed by frost. The illustra- 

 tion on the front cover is true to 

 life, having been made from an 

 actual photograph. Sturdy plants, 

 9 to 10 inches high, with stems 

 long enough for cutting. It is ex- 

 cellent for use either in the rock 

 garden or for low beds or borders. 

 Pkt., 15c; 2 pkts., 25c.

 curiously twisted and curled petals. Height, 2 ft.

 Zinnia. Flowers are medium sized, double, with half-curled, rav-like pet 

 of Zinnia has been that they were too stiff; this

 A I'epresented. Pkt., 25c.

 nias but each petal is tipped with a contrasting color, Pkt., 15c; Vt oz.. 75o 



3154 SCABIOSAPLOBA, Crested Zinnia. A distinct departure from anv 

 form of Zinnia yet introduced. Flowers look like someone had cut the 

 center out of a big double Zinnia and inserted a bloom of Scabiosa; 

 a most pleasing arrangement, centers are generally a contrasting shade. 

 Plants are strong and vigorous, growing about 3% feet tall. Pkt., 25c; 

 Vs oz., 75c.
