Zinnias of Every Type 
Violas 
Though the flowers are not as large as pansies 
they more than make up for this deficiency by remark¬ 
able production of blooms. We especially recommend 
these tufted pansies for bedding as well as borders . . . 
plants grown in late spring will spread a carpet of flowers 
from October till May. 
Apricot. A rich apricot with orange center. 
Blue Perfection. A deep purple blue. 
White Perfection. A pure white. 
Yellow Perfection. A rich golden-yellow. 
Papilio. A delightful light blue. 
Any of the above: Per packet, 25c. 
Zinnias (New Giant Flowered) 
Our grand new strain of giant-flowered Zinnias, now 
developed to the height of perfection, bear blossoms 
of matchless form and enormous as to size, attaining an 
average diameter of 5 inches under favorable cultural 
conditions. Well-branched and of sturdy growth, the 
plants bloom without intermission from early summer 
to late autumn. The flowers are invaluable for cutting or 
brilliant stretches in the garden. 
Giant Dahlia-Flowered Zinnias 
This lovely new type of Zinnias produces handsome, 
thick, double flowers of colossal proportions, charmingly 
incurved, extremely decorative and peerless garden and 
vase subjects. These blossoms are similar in shape to 
the double decorative dahlias and often in excess of 6 
inches across with a depth of 3 to 4 inches. The plants 
are of strong, vigorous habit, usually 3 feet or higher. 
We offer the outstanding distinct colors as well as a 
splendid mixture: 
Canary Bird. Bright canary-yellow and makes a 
beautiful showing. Immense blossoms. 
Crimson Monarch. An especially brilliant and 
pleasing shade of chestnut-crimson and a regal subject. 
Dream. An unusual color in dahlia flowered zinnia. 
A lovely deep lavender. 
Exquisite. A superb variety in every way meriting 
its name. The color in the large opening flowers is a 
wonderful shade of bright Tyrian-rose. 
Golden Dawn. A rich pure golden-yellow, and one 
of the most striking of all. 
Golden State. Dark-orange with a deeper-toned 
center and one of the most attractive. 
Luminosa. A luminous shade of pure rose-pink. 
Old Gold. A descriptive name which is self-explan¬ 
atory. One you will appreciate and enjoy. 
Oriole. Tawny-orange with the center of the blos¬ 
som a deeper hue, the whole a gorgeous color. 
Scarlet Flame. Brilliant in its intensity . . . equal 
in effect to a Paul Crampbel geranium.
