SELECTED STRAINS OF SEEDS ADAPTED TO SOUTHERN SOILS AND CLIMATE 
ZINNIAS a 
GIANT DAHLIA-FLOWERED ZINNIAS 
Marvelously Beautiful; Tremendously Large; the True 
Aristocrats of Zinnias. 
A marvelous new development, differing from 
the giant Zinnias in the formation of the petals 
which, instead of overlapping, stand out Dahlia-wise. 
The petals are extra broad, of great substance, and 
are so tightly placed as to give the whole flower a 
very massive appearance—marvelous blendings of 
pastel shades—shades too subtle to be described— 
each distinctly different. Just as easy to grow as 
the others.

foliage and registering as a color mass in the 
picture. They are excellent for pot plants, and 
cut flowers.
