MISS MARY E. MARTIN, FLORAL PARK, NEW YORK. 



I like Zinnias, they seem so 

 like old friends, straightforward, 

 honest-growing plants — and such 

 handsome flowers too. Have 

 you seen the good Zinnias of 

 late years? They are marvels — 

 a Kate Greenaway flower for all 

 the world. 



Zinnia. 



Curled and Crested. 



Immensely handsome and curi- 

 ous, flowers very large and 

 double; in all colors with petals 

 curiously and beautifully crimp- 

 ed and curled, extra fine. 

 Packet, 5c. 



ZINNIA, Zebra or Carnation. 



Very curiously marked; many 

 colors on one flower. Very 

 bright and showy. Packet, 5c. 



ZINNIA, Pompon. 



A perfect little plant and per- 

 fectly formed flowers in many 

 colors. Packet, 5c. 

 FAIRY ZINNIAS. 



Named so because the plant is 

 small and flowers such perfect 

 little beauties. Packet, 5c. 



Packet each of the above 4 

 kinds, l8c. 

 ZINNIA "JACQUEMINOT." 



This splendid variety belongs 

 to the double dwarf section, and 

 forms fine bushy plants about i8 

 inches high; bearing in count- 

 less numbers throughout the en- 

 tire season handsome perfectly 

 double flowers of a vivid and 

 velvety rich scarlet-crimson. 

 Packet, 10c. 



Mammoth Zinnias. (Robusta pienis= 



sima.) These are 

 French Zinnias of the highest perfected type; for 

 size and coloring nothing approaches them; even 

 yellows with carmine stripes were among those in 

 my trial beds this summer. Mixed; all colors. 



Packet, 10c.; 3 for 25c. 



Large double mixed. Packet, 5c. 



Zinnia, Mexicana Hybrid Mixed. 



The flowers are semi-double, and in shape they 

 resemble much more those of the Coreopsis or 

 Gaillardias than those of Z. Mexicana; they are 

 very numerous and remarkably varied in color; 

 some shades are exceedingly rich, and contrast 

 Strikingly on the dark green foliage. 

 Packet, 75 seeds. 5c. 



New Double White^Fringed Zinnia. 



An entirely new, distinct and very beautiful form of Zin- 

 nia. Each petal is beautifully fringed, giving the flower a 

 novel and very beautiful fluffy appearance. The plant atid 

 flower is of the Grandiflora style, large and robust, produc- 

 ing flowers until frost. Packet, 75 seeds, 6c.; 2 for 10c. 



New double fringed, mixed colors. Packet, 75 seeds, 6c,
