Zinnia, Henderson's New Giant 



(Zinnia Elegans Robusta Plenissima) 



These grand annuals are of the Giant or Mammoth-flowering type and are 

 in every way superior to the old-fashioned "Youth and Old Age." Zinnias are 

 now very much in evidence in flower gardens throughout the country, primarily 

 because they will grow and flourish under unfavorable conditions. Given a 

 fair soil, they wul bloom continuously from July until frost. 



The plants grow from 2J4 to 3 feet high and are covered with myriads of 

 densely double flowers measuring from 4 to 6 inches in diameter. Giant Zin- 

 nias are one of the best plants for beds, borders and cutting. (See illustration.)

3 Desirable Zinnia Novelties 



4652 Pico tee 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. Mixed Colors Pkt. 25c

 of a deep orange with maroon tips. (See illustration.) Pkt. 25c 



4656 Achievement Giant Double Quilled. (Zinnia Elegans Robusta 

 Grandiflora.) This is distinct from all other Zinnias hitherto raised by 

 the shape of its petals, which are partially tubular at the base, and ex- 

 pand 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. (See illustra- 

 tion.) Mixed Colors Pkt. 25c.
