VIRGINIAN STOCK—(French 
Forget-me-not) 
French Forget-me-nots are fast growing, early 
flowering little plants for spring use in the annual 
rock garden or as an edging plant. They are in flower 
with such early blossoming varieties as alyssum, 
pansies, violas, and linarias. As they come before 
the nemesias, they could very well be used in the space 
to be filled later on by them. They are charming 
when grown either in mixture or in the separate 
colors of rose, crimson, white and mixed which are 
offered. Per pkt. 10c.

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. 
Cerise Queen—Beautiful cerise rose. 
Enchantress—Color same as Exquisite in Dahlia 
Flowered type. 
Miss Wilmott-—Soft pink.

Scarlet Gem—Glowing scarlet.

QUILLED TYPE ZINNIAS 
Achievement or Victory Mixed—The petals are par¬ 
tially tubular or quilled giving the flower somewhat 
the appearance of a cactus dahlia and displaying a 
rich variety of colors mostly of the warmer shades, 
such as salmon, old rose, deep rose, lilac, bronze and 
dark red tones. On the reverse side the petals are 
light or dark lilac, making a wonderful combination 
of colors. The plants are of strong, robust growth 
and produce an abundance of very large, double flowers 
often 5 inches in diameter. Pkt. 10c. 
ZINNIA FANTASY MIXED (Bodger) 
(Grower’s Description) 
New zinnias are always welcomed by home growers 
and florists alike. While the giant flowered varieties 
are still popular, the trend of late years has been 
toward the smaller flowered, more graceful strains. 
The new Fantasy Mixture meets this demand in all 
details: the rounded flowers are composed of a mass 
of shaggy ray-like petals which give a delicate and 
refined appearance to the medium-sized double flowers, 
large enough to satisfy the desire for mass of color, 
yet small enough to lend themselves gracefully to 
flower arrangement. The color range includes the 
brightest shades of reds and orange, as well as the 
popular pastel pinks and cream. Pkt. 25c. 
ZINNIA DESERT GOLD (Bodger) 
(Grower’s Description) 
Several years ago we introduced the fascinating 
new zinnia, Crown O’ Gold, in mixture. The yellow 
and gold shades in this mixture were immediately pro¬ 
claimed the most attractive and sought after as sep¬ 
arate colors. We are very happy now to offer these 
shades as Desert Gold, a variety containing the light 
and deep hues of gold, each petal overlaid at the base 
with a deeper golden yellow, giving a charming 
bicolor combination. Those who appreciate the finest 
in zinnias will welcome Desert Gold. Pkt. 25c. 
SCABIOSA FLOWERED 
A new zinnia much resembling the scabiosa. 
Flowers are 2 to 3 inches across, in many desirable 
colors and with stems suitable for bowl arrangement 
and small bouquets. A few off type may be expected.
