NEW 
CALIFORNIA 
GIANT DAHLIA FLOWERED 
Crimson Monarch Zinnia 
Marvelous Blooms of Immense Size 
The remarkable results obtained with this im¬ 
proved type of the popular flower, by thousands of 
our pleased patrons, has fully substantiated the 
claims advanced by us, for the New Dahlia-Flow¬ 
ered Zinnia is undoubtedly a majestic and beauti¬ 
ful flower. 
The plant is striking^ and spectacular in ap¬ 
pearance and distinguished for its vigor and 
sturdy growth, reaching a height of from 3 to 
4 feet. The large magnificent blooms that 
greatly resemble Decorative Dahlias and aver¬ 
age from 4 inches or over across, are borne 
on strong stems, clear of foliage, which makes 
them very desirable for cut flowers as well as 
garden decoration. It is indeed a valuable 
acquisition. 
GIANT ZINNIAS 
Fully as large as the Dahlia Flowered, they are 
of the true Zinnia type, flat without the conical 
center, being nearly a solid face with loosely placed 
petals. I have grown flowers fully 5 inches in 
diameter. Plants are of robust habit, attaining a 
height of about 3 feet, and should be given 18 to 24 
inches between each to allow for full development; 
they bear numerous semi-globular mostly very 
double flowers on long, strong stems, all of the larg¬ 
est size, making them of great value in large beds, 
borders, etc., grown under favorable conditions they 
remain in bloom from early summer to late autumn. 
I offer the colors separately, as well as a splendid 
mixture of many colors.
