New Zinnia, Double Giant Picotee 
Introducer's Description. 
This remarkable new and distinct class was first produced 
by us in 1916 from flesh color with each petal distinctly tipped 
with dark chocolate color, and from this variety we have, during 
the past season, produced the following colors, all tipped with 
various shades of dark, giving the flowers a very attractive and 
pleasing appearance, resembhng Picotee Carnations, Orange, 
Flesh, Lemon, Pink and Cerise. This fine novelty has been 
pronounced by all who have seen it to be the most attractive 
thing in Zinnias.
