ZINNIA 



The Zinnia has always been a garden favorite, yet by many 

 It has been thought too coarse a flower to deserve a place in 

 their favor. But so greatly has this showy flower been im- 

 proved that it is no longer under ban, and is even coming into 

 favor for cutting. For grouping in a bed, nothing will furnish 

 a more gorgeous mass of color, nor give a longer blooming sea 

 son. I offer the choicest double varieties. A small per cent will 

 come single. Annual; one to three feet. 



Carmine. A beautiful dark red, very handsome to mass with 

 yellow. Pkt., 4 cts. 



burled and Crented A splendid strain of California 

 grown Zinnias, a beautiful and showy type. The petals are 

 daintily curled and crinkled, giving a softness and beauty 

 most charming, and relieving the flowers from the stiffness- 

 and coarseness of the old varieties. They grow to a height of 

 two feet, are very double, and range through all the brilliant 

 shades of red and yellow, including orange, terra cotta, old 

 pink, canary, white, flesh and old gold, both in solid colore- 

 and variegations. Do not fail to try them. Mixed. Pkt.
