D. G. FRASER'S GIANT MISSION ZINNIAS 
(Giant Balloon Flowered Type) 
The flowers in this group average somewhat smaller than those of the 
California Giants; however, this difference is very slight and in some colors 
the sizes will run identical in both types. As the name implies the Balloon 
Flowered Type is more rounding than the Mammoth and the petals are more 
closely set, over-lapping like shingles, very compact and symmetrical in perfect 
flowers. They have been developed to a high stage of doubleness and are 
obtainable in a greater color range than the Mammoth type. This group is the 
result of years of plant selection to develop a perfect zinnia, and we don’t hes¬ 
itate to recommend this type as the most perfect of all large flowered zinnias. 
177 Mission Lavender Princess. A large 
flower of beautiful lavender shades from 
silvery lilac to deep orchid; very full and 
perfect in form. Borne on splendid stems, 
it keeps exceedingly well when cut. 
178 Autumn Glory. The large flowers 
of huff shades become beautifully tinted 
with bronze, rosy-lavender shades and 
soft autumn colors as they age. Flowers 
have beautiful reflex and overlapping 
petals, strong stems and good foliage. 
179 Mission Butter-cup Yellow. A large 
flower of unusually fine form in soft, 
creamy-yellow shades, slightly lower in 
growth than other Balloon types making 
it desirable for foreground planting. An 
excellent bouquet mixer with other zin¬ 
nias because its soft color does not seem 
to clash with other shades. 
181 Crimson-Scarlet Beauties. A perfcet 
range of red shades so near alike that 
you can hardly select one from another. 
The flowers are very rounding in shape, 
good size and extra long stems, excep¬ 
tionally good for baskets. A prolific 
bloomer and rather tall grower. If you 
want a bed of real color, rich, vivid and 
lively, plant these shades. 
182 Mission Salmon Queen. Beautiful 
salmon-rose shades, fully rounded two- 
toned flowers. Colors are bright and live¬ 
ly, delicately tinged with light pinks. 
183 Poppy Gold. A recent introduction. 
Rich shades of golden and chrome yel¬ 
lows between our Burnt Orange and Daf¬ 
fodil in depth and color value. A color 
comparable to our own California Poppy. 
160 Mission Majestic Rose. One of the 
most outstanding of all separate colors. 
A real beauty. Rich warm carmine-rose 
shades, different than other rose shades. 
This one made a “big hit” with all vis¬ 
itors at the ranch. 
161 Mission White Snowfall. It is quite 
evident that few yeople realize the 
beauty of the white zinnia. They are 
splendid in a bouquet by themselves, and 
two or three used in combination with 
such colors as reds and purples, “makes” 
the bouquet. Personally, we wouldn’t 
plant zinnias without a few whites. 
170 Mission Burnt Orange. A striking 
flower, richly colored in gorgeous orange 
shades, and deeper orange centers. This 
variety is one of the best all purpose 
zinnias in this group, and a favorite with 
the men. Flowers are immense in size 
petals somewhat curved and irregular, 
extra strong stems and a prolific bloomer. 
162 Mission Pink Shades. Flowers de¬ 
velop a pleasing variety of two-toned ef¬ 
fects as they age, outer edge of petals 
on many deeping to rose, while some are 
suffused with salmon. Fine for cut flower. 
164 Mission Radiant Rose. Flowers are 
large, borne on long stems in pretty 
shades of deep rose, radiant soft and 
pleasing. Older flowers take on two- 
toned effects with deep rose centers and 
lighter outer petals. 
166 Mission Golden Trophy. A magnifi¬ 
cent. perfectly shaped flower of clear 
yellow shades. Splendid for exhibition 
purposes, excellent for cutting. Flowers 
are somewhat lighter than Daffodil (214) 
and deeper than Buttercup (179). 
172 Mission Purple Profusion. The most 
perfect formed flowers of the Balloon 
Types are to be found in these deep, rich 
purple shades. These colors are indes¬ 
cribably beautiful under artificial light 
and range from a strong rich purple to 
deep violet purples. The plants are quite 
tall growing and wonderful producers. 
MIXED COLORS

artistic touch the Zinnia wants.
