ZINNIA [hA] Perhaps the ancient and cultured Mayas of Mexico 

 once cultivated this flower in their gardens. For, Zinnias were 

 originally native wild flowers of that country. However, if the 

 Mayas could see the new varieties we have today, they would be 

 astonished that such superb blossoms could have come from the 

 flowers they used to know. 



Zinnias are particularly adapted to our hot American summers. 

 They like rich, well-fertilized soil and a moderate amount of water. 

 Such growing conditions will produce lusty, robust plants and 

 gorgeous flowers. Zinnias bloom for many weeks. 



The several classes we offer fill many needs in the garden, last 

 for days as cut flowers, and are of choice quality. 

 Double Dahlia Flowered [2^ ft.] Enormous flowers, usually hav- 

 ing slightly hollowed centers ringed with small tubular florets. The 

 petals are quite loosely placed and tend to curl at the edges, giving 

 the blossoms a crisp, fresh appearance. Although the type is still 

 unstable, most of the flowers are beautifully double. 

 Canary (Canary Bird) Light Rose (Exquisite) 



Crimson (Crimson Monarch) Orange and Gold (Oriole) 



Golden Yellow (Golden Dawn) Purple (Purple Prince) 



Lavender (Dream) Scarlet (Scarlet Flame) 



White (Polar Bear) 

 Any one of the above: ^ oz. 50c; pkt. 10c 



Mixed J4 oz. 45c; pkt. 10c 



Double California Giant [2}4 ft.] These flowers are usually brighter 

 than the Dahlia-flowered type and are nearly as large. Normally 

 they are quite similar in shape, but the center is somewhat more 

 elevated, and the rows of slightly convex petals are more regular, 

 giving the bloom the appearance of being well shingled. This 

 group will give great satisfaction. 



Canary Yellow Crimson Orange 



Pink White

 You'll be delighted. 



If you like something unusual in flowers, you will be pleased with 

 Fantasy, the cactus-petaled Zinnia. 



Double Fantasy [2 ft.] Petals curved and partially quilled like 

 those of the Cactus Dahlia. Flowers are of medium size and come 

 in rich hues of red, rose, orange, and yellow. It is easy to grow. 

 Mixed H oz. 35c; pkt. 10c 



Double Elegans (Cut and Come Again) [2 ft.] These forerun- 

 ners of the robust giant sorts produce relatively graceful plants 

 adorned with fine double flowers about 2}/^ inches in diameter. 

 They are quite dome-shaped and evenly double, and the petals 

 are well overlapped. The colors are vivid, and these varieties 

 are again returning to popularity. 

 Bright Scarlet Golden Yellow Salmon Rose

Double Mexicana [12 in.] Probably this miniature Zinnia is 

 more nearly like the true Mexican native variety than any 

 other. The double blossoms are a rich orange in color, usually 

 with a deeper tone toward their bases. It is an edging gem. 

 Orange J^ oz. 35c; pkt. 10c 



Mexicana Hybrids [12 in.] A miniature Zinnia somewhat like 

 French Marigold with flowers of yellow, orange, and mahogany — 

 frequently variegated. Some blossoms are double and some single. 

 Good for edging and long-lasting bouquets. . . J^ oz. 35c; pkt. 10c 



Double Lilliput [12 in.] A charming dwarf which is exceflent for 

 low borders or edgings. The plants are of tidy habit and produce a 

 bounteous supply of very double pompon flowers about IJ^ inches 

 across. The colors are bright and well varied.
