SEPARATE COLORS OF CALIFORNIA GIANT ZINNIAS 
This variety is one of the largest of zinnias. Flowers are t^ery double, large 
petaled, somewhat flat' in form and enormous size. The average flower is 5 
inches across and during the peak of the blooming season it is not unusual 
to pick flowers 6 inches across, with many growing to 7 inches under proper 
cultivation and plenty of water with occasional applications of fertilizer. 
These enormous, double flowers have been obtained by many years of careful 
selection and rigid rogueing in our growing fields to eliminate singles and 
small sized flowers as well as fixing unusually well the trueness of our wide 
range of separate colors. Flowers of different colors vary somewhat in size. 
210 Mammoth Orange King. A large 
well formed flower of gorgeous golden 
yellow and orange shades, many beauti¬ 
ful two-toned and reflexed types. A vig¬ 
orous grower with long strong stems. 
211 Mammoth Scarlet Gem. A wonder 
in s-ize and depth of color. Sensational 
color, bright scarlet and fine dark green 
foliage. 
212 Mammoth Vermilion Queen. A vivid, 
brilliant vermilion verging to rose, makes 
a striking bouquet. 
214 Mammoth Daffodil. Brilliant can¬ 
ary yellow shades and exceptionally good 
keepers when cut. Introduced in 1932, 
this number proved very true last year, 
but will be better in every way when 
grown from our stock of new seed. 
215 Mammoth Rose Queen. An immense 
flower of bright rose shades with deeper 
rose center. Reflexed type, with foliage 
extending well up to the flower which 
is carried on long stems.

lively pink shades, delicate yet stronger 
coloring than Mammoth Pink Profusion. 
Extra fine, strong stems and luxuriant 
foliage. 
217 Mammoth Pink Profusion. Glorious 
shades of light, delicate pinks, some 
deeping as the flowers age. Some have a 
delicate salmon flush, while others are 
light flesh pinks. A tall strong plant with 
long stems, fine for cutting. 
219 Mammoth Enchantress. Beautiful 
rose shades with deeper rose centers; 
distinctly a two-toned flower, very pleas¬ 
ing and one of the largest blooms of the 
California Giant Zinnias. If you like rose 
colors you’ll like this one.

loosely arranged (similar to Scarlet Gem) 
A magnificent bloom of lemon-yellow.
