DAHLIA FLOWERED 
ZINNIAS 
For several years past we have been 
offering these wonderful new Zinnias. This 
new type of Zinnias far surpasses any that 
has been offered to the public in past years. 
The large size, fullness of petals, extra¬ 
ordinary color range, and good keeping 
qualities of this flower have all contributed 
to its popularity. The flowers are often 7 
and 8 inches in diameter on good, stout 
stems. Plants are sturdy, very free bloom¬ 
ing, and free from disease. 
EXQUISITE —By far the most pleasing 
of our collection. Truly Dahlia-flowered as 
regards form and size. Color: Light rose 
with center a deep rose. Tyrian rose. Pkt. 
15c. 
OLD ROSE — This is adequately de¬ 
scribed by its name, as it is of the real 
Old Rose shade; it is large, and for charm 
and beauty we consider it ranks next to 
Exquisite. Pkt. 15c. 
GOLDEN STATE —A very rich orange 
yellow (Cadmium yellow) in the bud, turn¬ 
ing to an attractive orange when in full 
bloom. Pkt. 15c.

largest and best of red shades. Flowers 
often eight inches in diameter. Plants very 
vigorous. A marvelous production of extra¬ 
ordinary merit. Pkt. 15c.

shade of brick red (Spectrum Red) which

forms into an immefise ball of color when 
in full bloom. Pkt. 15c.

scarlet, with a delightful blending of orange through¬ 
out the petal. This is not a bi-color. Pkt. 15c. 
METEOR —A rich, glowing deep red (Spinel Red) 
and the largest of all the red shades. Pkt. 15c.
