ZINNIA NOVELTIES 



4652 Picotee Giant Double. This variety is one of a remarkable new and 

 distinct class of Zinnias, producing double flowers, measuring from 4 

 to 6 inches in diameter, in the following colors: orange, yellow, flesh 

 and pink, each petal being tipped with a dark chocolate or maroon shade, 

 giving the flowers a very pleasing appearance, resembling a Picotee 

 Carnation. Giant Double Picotee is very desirable for bedding or for 

 cutting. Mixed Colors Pkt. 25c. 



4654 Picotee, Golden Pheasant. A variety of the above, having flowers of a 

 deep orange with maroon tips Pkt. 25c. 



4656 Achievement Giant Double Quilled. (Zinnia Elegans Robusta Grandi- 

 flora.) This is distinct from all other Zinnias hitherto raised by the shape 

 of its petals, which are partially tubular at the base and expand in a 

 cactus-like form toward the tip, thereby displaying a rich variety of color, 

 mostly of the warmer shades, such as pale rose, deep rose, salmon, lilac, 

 scarlet and coppery golden yellow, the reverse side the petals are of a lilac 

 tint, varying from light to dark, and by their singular contour they pro- 

 duce in the flower a rare and beautiful combination of color never before 

 seen among Zinnias. Mixed Colors. Pkt. 25c. 



4658 Dahlia-Flowered Giant Double. These flowers have a very marked dis- 

 tinction from the ordinary giant-flowering class, being of a true Dahlia- 

 flowering type, and when cut from the plant and placed by Dahlias it 

 is difficult to distinguish one from the other. Of easy culture, very large 

 flowers, free bloomers; should be a close rival to the Dahlia.
