ZINNIAS—GIANTS OF 
CALIFORNIA 
This type was introduced in 1926, with the convic¬ 
tion that it was a type that would become a favorite. 
This is a mutation from the Dahlia Flowered type 
and the general approval in the past four years has 
encouraged us to go further into the development of 
this for florists’ and general use. The great advantage 
of this type is that the very large flowers are of enor¬ 
mous size and flat, getting away from the conical type 
of the Giants and eliminating the stiffness that has 
been so objectionable in Zinnias in the past. The 
flowers from the time they open are attractive, making 
them a good cut flower from the early bud until they 
are in full bloom. They are twice the size of the 
ordinary Giants.

ZINNIAS—DAHLIA 
FLOWERED 
This wonderful flower creates a sensation wherever 
it is grown and it has probably gained popularity 
more quickly than any other improved garden flower 
offered in recent years. The large size, fullness of 
petals, extraordinary color range, and good keeping 
qualities have all contributed to its popularity. The 
flowers resemble in appearance the Decorative Dahlia 
and is called the Dahlia Flowered Zinnia for this 
reason. When in full bloom they often measure five to 
six inches in diameter. 
Canary Bird—A delicate shade of primrose—very 
large and holds its color well until out of bloom. Per 
pkt. 10c. 
Crimson Monarch—By far the largest and best of 
the red shades. Flowers often 8 inches in diameter. 
Plants very vigorous. A marvelous production of ex¬ 
traordinary merit. Per pkt. 10c. 
Dream—A fine deep lavender, turning to purple 
(Mallow Purple), a new, desirable shade in Zinnias. 
Per pkt. 10c.

tion. Truly DAHLIA flowered as regards form and

when in full bloom. Per pkt. 10c. 
Illumination—Similar to Exquisite, but a striking 
self color of deep rose. (Tyrian Rose.) Per pkt. 10c 
Lemon Beauty—This is next to Crimson Monarch in 
size and form. It may be described as a golden yellow 
on brown. Decidedly a pastel shade, and should be in 
every collection. Pkt. 10c. 
Meteor—A rich, glowing deep red (Spinel Red), and 
the darkest of all the red shades. Fine form, with 
good depth of petal. Very large and more floriferous 
than other reds. Per pkt. 10c.

changing slightly as it ages, but at all times worthy of 
the beautiful bird for which it is named. Pkt. 10c.

as it is of the real Old Rose Shade; it is large, and
