Zinnia Dahlia Flowered 



DAHLIA FLOWERED ZINNIAS 



Attractive member of the Zinnia family. Immense 

 dahlia-like flowers often measuring 4 to 5 inches in 

 diameter. The sturdy plants, about 2% feet high, 

 produce an abundance of blooms all summer. 



940. CANARY BIRD. Delicate shade of primrose 

 yellow. A very unusual color. 



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.) 



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 (Rho- 

 danthe Purple), large and well-formed. (New.)

CALIFORNIA GIANTS OR MAMMOTH ZINNIAS

 that the flowers are of enormous size and flat, getting away from the coni- 

 cal type of the regular giants and eliminating the stiffness that has been 

 so objectionable in Zinnias in the past. Low branching, long cutting stems, 

 profuse flowering and huge graceful flowers of rich and charming color.

These wonderful bedding plants give uniformly good results in all 

 sections of the country. They succeed in any sunny position, in 

 any kind of soil, but will repay liberal treatment. For best results 

 spade the beds 2 feet deep, and incorporate in the soil a liberal amount 

 of well-decayed manure of any kind. Water well at all times. The best 

 effect is given by planting large masses of one color, setting the plants 

 18 inches apart, 



CITY OF PORTLAND. This fine and stately Canna enjoys the greatest 

 popularity. The plants make a strong, upright growth, 3% feet tall. 

 Contrasting with the rich, deep green foliage are flowers of a bright 

 pink color. 10 cts. each; 6 for 55 cts.; $1.00 doz.
