Zinnia Crown o' Gold 
827 MIXED. This new Zinnia derives its name and distinction 
from the fact that each petal of the flower is overlaid with a 
deep golden-yellow at the base, while carrying out the indi¬ 
vidual flower color at the tip. The effect is a very pleasing 
two-tone color harmony. The color range comprises the more 
popular shades, including old rose, cream, yellow, carmine 
and burnished red; the latter a new shade in Zinnias. Pkt., 
20c. 
828 DESERT GOLD. Several years ago we offered the fasci¬ 
nating new Zinnia, Crown o’ Gold, in mixture. The yellow 
and gold shades in this mixture were immediately proclaimed 
the most attractive and sought after as separate 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 fin¬ 
est in Zinnias will welcome Desert Gold. Pkt., 25c. 
Viscaria 
A very beautiful annual and easy to grow. Very free- 
flowering, producing throughout the entire summer its showy 
single flowers in red, white and blue shades. For bloom out¬ 
doors, seed may be sown in the open during March, April or 
May, or in September, for early flowering. Height, 12 to 18 
inches. 
776 OCULATA COERULEA, BLUE BOUQUET. This is erect in 
growth and has the appearance of an elegant bouquet, thus 
distinguishing it from the rather spreading nature of its 
tribe. The flowers are larger than those of the ordinary Vis¬ 
caria oculata coerulea and of a more beautiful shade of 
blue. Hardy annual. Blooms from July until frost. Height, 
12 to 18 inches. Pkt., 20c. 
777 TOM THUMB, FIRE KING. Rosy crimson. Height 1 ft. 
Pkt., 15c. 
778 OCULATA, TOM THUMB MIXED. Special Mixture of 
red, white and blue shades. Height, 1 ft. Pkt., 15c. 
Zinnia, Lilliput. 
829 FANTASY MIXED. New Zinnias are al¬ 
ways welcomed by home growers and flor¬ 
ists alike. While the giant-flowered varie¬ 
ties are still popular, the trend of late 
years has been toward the smaller flow¬ 
ered, more graceful strains. This 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. 
830 TOM THUMB MIXTURE. Tom Thumb 
is without exception the dwarfest Zinnia 
known. The plants are rounded and com¬ 
pact, 4 to 6 inches high, literally covered 
with well-formed flowers of the Lilliput 
type. The color range includes red, or¬ 
ange, yellow, pink, rose and other pastel 
shades. During the hot dry summer 
months this is the ideal border plant and 
is also well adapted for window box and 
pot work. Pkt., 20c. 
Viscaria, Blue Bouquet.
