Zinnia Linearis 



Zinnia, 



Miscellaneous Types 



3178 ZINNIA linearis. A new 



and unusual Zinnia that more 

 than makes up in charm what 

 it lacks in size. Dwarf bushy 

 plants 8 to 10 inches tall liter- 

 ally covered with single, me- 

 dium-sized flowers. Blooms are 

 golden orange with a stripe of 

 lemon-yellow in the center of 

 each petal. Blooms six weeks 

 after seed is sown. Pkt., 25c.

 ed. Large, double flowers, with

 als. Height, 2 feet. Pkt., 10c; 

 !4 oz., 50c. 



Zinnia, Fantasy 



3191 Star Dust. Award of Merit, 1937 All-America Selections. The first sep- 

 arate color selection from the ever-popular Fantasy type. Plant 2Yz t0 3 feet 

 tall, literally covered with rich, golden yellow blooms. Blooms in about 7 

 weeks from sowing. Pkt., 25c. 



3192 Rosalie. Two years ago we first offered Zinnia Fantasy, Star Dust, a de- 

 lightful shade of yellow, and now as a fit companion for Star Dust, we offer 

 Rosalie. Plants are same type of growth as Star Dust, and bear the same 

 shaggy, graceful flowers, but fascinating intense rose in color. Pkt., 25c. 



190 Fantasy Mixture. A distinct departure from the formal type of Zinnia. Flow- 

 ers are medium sized, double, with half-curled raylike petals. The one criticism 

 of Zinnias has been that they were too stiff; this charming new variety has a dis- 

 tinctly airy appearance and makes excellent cut flowers. A full range of color is 

 represented. Pkt., 15c. 



153 ZINNIA gracillima, Red Riding Hood. Plants V/l feet tall, covered with 

 small, double, scarlet flowers. Pkt., 15c; Ya °Z-> 35c. 



155 ZINNIA, Picotee Mixed. A distinct type same size and shape as the giant 

 Zinnias, but each petal is tipped with a contrasting color. Pkt., 15c; '/^ oz., 75c. 



154 ZINNIA scabiosaflora (Crested Zinnia). Flowers look like someone had cut 

 the center out of a big double Zinnia and inserted a bloom of Scabiosa; a most 

 pleasing arrangement, centers are generally a contrasting shade. Plants are strong 

 and vigorous, growing about IY7 feet tall. Pkt., 25c; Yn oz., 75c. 



Mcxicana Haageana Zinnia 



Zinnia, Improved Mexicana Haageana 



3152 In the mad rush for the large and giant-flowered strains of many of our 

 flowers, the smaller varieties have been neglected. This charming little Zinnia 

 is easily grown in almost any location, is practically free from insects and blooms 

 continuously until killed by frost. Best results are obtained by planting seeds 

 where they are to bloom and thinning out to 6 or 8 inches apart. Sturdy plants, 

 9 to 10 inches high, with stems long enough for cutting. It is excellent for 

 either the rock garden or low beds or borders. Pkt., 15c; 2 pkts., 25c.
