Dahlia Flowering Zinnia, Oriole 
160. ZINNIA FANTASY, NEW CHRYS¬ 
ANTHEMUM-FLOWERED. The outstand¬ 
ing Zinnia novelty of 1935. The strikingly 
attractive and beautiful flowers are 3 in. in 
diameter, in the brilliant colors of the im¬ 
proved, large flowering sorts and there are 
newer and unusual pastel shades. The flow¬ 
ers are borne on long, strong stems covering 
the well rounded, bushy plants with color. 
The flowers keep well when cut. Picking the 
blooms freely causes the plants to branch 
and increases the production of flowers. 
Those forming at an angle are held in that 
position without drooping. The plants are 
quite free from insects and disease. They 
grow where any garden plant can be grown, 
doing best in full sun, but thrive also in 
partial shade. Does well under glass for cut 
flowers. Pkt. 15c., and 40c. 
160a. ZINNIA, SCABIOSA- 
FLOWERING (1932 Novelty). This 
new 7innia is entirely different to all 
other Zinnias. The plant reaches a 
height of 40 in. and flowers profusely. 
Its outstanding feature consists in 
the formation of the flower forming 
an outer ring of long petals, whereas 
the center shows many small flowers 
which at first sight have a great like¬ 
ness with the Scabiosa. Mixed 
colors. Pkt. 15c. 
161. DWARF DOUBLE ZIN¬ 
NIAS. Compact bushes not over 
2 ft. in height; double flowers, all of 
the largest size, making them of 
great value in large beds, borders, 
etc.; grown under favorable condi¬ 
tions, they remain in bloom from 
early Summer to late Autumn. We 
offer this seed in a splendid mixture. 
Pkt. 10c., oz. 50c.

DOUBLE ZINNIAS. Plants grow

than usual value for cutting. Yellow,

and graceful forms. The colors comprise all 
the brilliant shades characteristic of the 
Zinnia. Pkt. 10c., oz. 75c. 
166. M.-S. PICOTEE TYPE ZINNIA. 
This exquisite new Zinnia, the flowers of 
which are not quite as large as the double 
giants, are very effective in appearance, as 
the edges of the petals are all well marked 
with a distinct color to the body of the flower, 
making them very attractive as bedders and 
cut flowers. Pkt. 10c., oz. $1.00.
