Rurpee’s Zinnias 
T HE Zinnia is one of our great special- 
ties, and is largely grown for seed at 
our Fordhook Farms. 
We have not far to go in search of the 
reason for the ever increasing popularity 
of this unrivalled flower. 1 he Zinnia is 
easy to grow; it is not particular as to soil 
or position; and it blooms continuously 
from June until frost. What more can be 
desired in any flower? Yet, in the Zinnia 
we have brilliant colors — practically all 
shades — and a flower that is massive and 
imposing in size. Burpee’s Giant Mam- 
moth Zinnias often measure from three to 
four inches in diameter.

2812 Burpee’s Cactus-Flowered Zinnia Bur- 
pee’s New Cactus Flowered type is the great- 
est advance yet made amongst the Giant 
Flowered Zinnias. The flowers are borne in 
great profusion. On well-grown plants they 
will average from four to five inches in diam- 
eter. The plants are of sturdy, upright habit 
and will bloom continuously from June until 
frost. While this is a distinct new type of 
flower, we have already developed a very large 
range of colors. The seed, which is now offer- 
ed for the first time, contains beautiful shades 
of yellow, orange, pink, rose, brilliant scarlet 
and crimson. The Cactus-Flowered Zinnia is 
so named because the petals are quilled in such a 
manner that they become almost tubular. They 
are straight, and radiate from the center of the 
flower like a Cactus Flowered Dahlia. The 
backs of the petals are of a distinct color, and 
as they incurve to form the tube they give the 
entire flower a bi-color appearance. The flow- 
ers are borne on long, stiff-stems and are splen- 
did for cutting. P kl. 33 cts .
