1934 SPRING AND FALL ^ THE HOUSE OF GURNEY, INC. YANKTON, SOUTH DAKOTA 
ANNUAL FLOWER SEEDS—(Continued) 
Zinnias 
Few flowers are so easily grown or bloom so 
abundantly and continuously as this hardy 
annual. Marvelous improvements have been 
wrought in the newer strains. During the months 
of August and September Zinnias are incompar¬ 
ably bright. We recommend them for groups, 
beds, borders and summer hedges. Sow seed in 
the open ground early in spring. Height, 1 1/2 to 
2 feet, 
Picotee Zinnias 
New Giant Zinnia Picotee—This novelty is 
the most attractive thing in all the race of 
Zinnias. The flowers are of the Giant type, each 
petal distinctly tipped with a darker shade as in 
Picotee Carnations. They come in a variety of 
colors: orange, flesh, lemon, pink and cerise, 
each with the peculiar marking. This is an odd 
yet wonderfully beautiful Zinnia. We offer in 
mixture only. Picotee Mixed—Pkt., 7c; 1/2 oz., 
25c, 
Giant Flowered 
Double Zinnias 
Double Giant (2 'A ft.)—Here is the class to 
which the Zinnias are indebted for the favor they 
enjoy today. In habit the plants are tall, branch¬ 
ing and vigorous. The flowers are usually bright¬ 
er than the dahlia-flowered type and are nearly 
as large. Normally they are quite similar in 
shape, but the center is somewhat more eleva¬ 
ted, and the rows of slightly convex petals are 
more regular, giving the bloom the appearance 
of being well shingled. This group will give great 
satisfaction. 
Giant Flowered Scarlet—A gleaming red. 
Pkt., 8c; 'A oz., 30c. 
Golden Yellow Double Giant—I saw a field 
of this variety of nearly ten acres, every plant 
producing a large number of brightest golden 
yellow flowers you can imagine, immense in size, 
and truly a wonderful sight. Most e.xcellent for 
cut flowers. Pkt., 8c; 'A oz., 30c. 
Giant Flowered Mixed—A splendid mixture 
of all of the above and others. Pkt., 5c; 'A oz., 
20c; 1 oz., 35c. 
Gurney’s Dahlia 
Flowered Zinnias 
In July, 1924, the Royal Horticultural Society 
of England granted an "Award of Merit” for the 
strain, and a Gold Medal for the group of Dahlia 
Flowered Zinnias exhibited, in the London Show. 
The large size, fullness of petals, extraordinary 
color range, and good keeping qualities of this 
flower have all contributed to its popularity. It 
is easily grown, and keeps well when cut. It is 
at present immune from disease. Equally good 
as a garden flower and as a florist’s specialty, its 
popularity should increase with years. It has 
been truthfully called "A New Flower for the 
People.” 
Dahlia Flowered Mixed Zinnia—This is a 
new type of Zinnia, was introduced in 1919, and is 
a most wonderful Zinnia, coming in practically 
all colors and measuring as much as nine inches 
across. All colors mixed. Pkt., 8c; 'A oz., 30c. 
Crimson Monarch—By far the largest and 
best of the red shades. Flowers often eight 
inches in diameter. Plants very vigorous. A 
marvelous production of extraordinary merit. 
Pkt., 10c; 3 for 25c. 
Dwarf Lilliput or Pompon 
Zinnias 
A very pretty type of compact habit not over 
15 inches high, bearing in lavish profusion, small 
densely double flowers on long stems, held well 
above the foliage. Makes a good line or bed 
and are of more than usual value for cutting. 
Gracillima (Red Riding Hood)—A beautiful 
fiery red, free blooming Zinnia. Pkt., 8c; 'A oz., 
30c. 
Dwarf Mixed—Double Dahlia-like flowers* 
best colors. Pkt., 5c; 'A oz., 20c.

Gentlemen: 
I want to tell you what a real wonder your 
Scarlet Wonder Watermelon is. We think it 
the best, most delicious, beautiful and won¬ 
derful melon we ever ate or saw. It looks 
like a real picture when cut, and tastes as 
good as it looks. Henceforth we will raise 
nothing else. 
Also wish to thank you for the beautiful 
Zinnias and Poppies you sent me as a pre¬ 
mium, as well as all the others. You certainly 
are nice to deal with. 
Sincerely, 
Mrs. Homer Fraseur.
