 passes our strain. The popularity of this flower is constantly increasing. 



as give. For brilliancy and variety of colors. 

 It is frequently called "Youth and Old Ag( 



there is nothi 

 ," because of 



ng that sur- 

 its constant 



blooming. 



DAHLIA FLOWERED ZINNIAS 



The newest and most attractive member of the Zinnia family. Im- 

 mense dahlia-like flowers often measuring 4 to 5 inches in diameter. 

 The sturdy plants, about 2^2 feet high, produce an abundance of blooms all 

 summer. 



939. EXQUISITE. By far the most pleasing of our collection. Truly 

 dahlia-like in both form and size. Color light rose with center a deep 

 rose. (Tyrian Rose.) 



940. GOLDEN STATE. A very rich orange yellow (Cadmium). Yel- 

 low in the bud, turning to an attractive orange when in full bloom. 



941. ORIOLE. We consider this the most beautiful of its class. It 

 is an immense orange and gold bicolor, changing slightly as it ages, but 

 at all times worthy of the beautiful bird for which it is named. 



942. PURPLE PRINCE. A fine, deep purple (Rhodanthe Purple), 

 large and well-formed. (New.) 



943. POLAR BEAR. A very large pure white, the best white yet seen 

 in Zinnias. True Dahlia form. 



944. SCARLET FLAME. A large, beautiful, bright scarlet, with a 

 delightful blending of orange throughout the petal. This is not a bicolor. 



The above six varieties, 15 cts. per pkt.; % oz. 50 cts.; 1 pkt. of each 

 for 75 cts.

 this ZJnnia its well-deserved popularity. Its petals are quilled and give 

 the flower the appearance of a Cactus Dahlia. Pkt. 10 cts. ; ^/i oz. 45 

 cts. ; oz. $1.50. 



GIANTS OF CALIFORNIA 



1057. MIXED. The great advantage of this type is that the flowers 

 are of enormous size and flat, getting away from the conical type of the 

 regular giants and eliminating the stiffness that has been so objectionable 

 in Zinnias in the past. The flowers from the time they oi)en are attrac- 

 tive, making them a good cut flower from the early buJs until they are 

 in full bloom. They are twice the size of the ordinary giants. Pkt. 15
