VIOLA CORNUTA 
(Normal germination, 8-40 days) 
Tufted Pansy Mixed —'This plant is often 
mistaken for a small-size pansy. It belongs 
to the same family, but is quite different, 
for the petals do not overlap nearly so 
much as in the pansy. The season is longer, 
and the plants are much more hardy. A 
gem for rock gardening. Clear colors of 
yellow, white, terra-cotta, rich purple, 
lavender, apricot, and rose. Keep flowers 
cut to promote continuous bloom.

Viola Tricolor —See Pansies. 
WALLFLOWER (Cheiranthus) O 
(Normal germination, 5-10 days) 
Thriving in poor soil, the wallflower is a half- 
hardy perennial, producing beautiful fragrant 
flowers, mostly yellow, orange and brown. Requires 
protection during the Winter. Blooms first year 
if sown early. 18 inches. Excellent for planting 
against wall with southern exposure. Native in 
many parts of Europe.

ZINNIA □ 
(Normal germination, 5-10 days) 
John Godfrey Zinn, a German, in 1757 published 
a “Catalogue of the Plants in the Garden of Got¬ 
tingen” listing this plant for the first time any¬ 
where, and giving it his name. 
More than a century ago, the forebears of the 
present Landreths commercially introduced the 
Zinnia from Mexico, where it grew in a wild-state. 
Its development has been marked since then. Our 
strain is California grown, and is unsurpassed. 
Blooms from July to frost. Seeds can be planted 
in the open, or young plants transplanted if desired. 
Dwarf varieties should stand about one foot apart, 
and tall varieties double this distance. Will grow 
anywhere and stand any amount of rough treatment, 
and is immune from disease. Very ornamental and 
satisfactory as a cut flower. Plant in July to get the 
largest and best flowers. 
★HAAGEANA MEXICANA HYBRIDS 
DOUBLE MIXED 
More nearly like the true Mexican variety (which 
was the parent of the large flowered Zinnia) than 
any other. Flowers small and plentiful, in yellow 
and mahogany-red and their variations. Ex¬ 
cellent for arrangement in low bowls. 12 inches 
tall. Early planting is best., -i oz., 66c.; pkt., 10

CALIFORNIA GIANTS—3 to 4 ft. 
The symmetrical flowers of this variety are large

a neater, flatter center, thus serving to accentuate 
the great size of the flower.
