ZINNIAS 
Dahlia Flowered 
This wonderful flower 
creates a sensation wher¬ 
ever it is grown and it has 
probably gained popularity 
more quickly than any other 
improved garden flower 
offered in recent years. The 
large size, fullness of petals, 
extraordinary color range, 
and good keeping qualities 
have all contributed to its 
popularity. The flowers re¬ 
semble in appearance the 
Decorative Dahlia and is 
called the Dahlia Flowered Zinnia for this reason. 
When in full bloom they often measure five to six 
inches in diameter. 
Canary Bird—A delicate shade of primrose—very 
large and holds its color well until out of bloom. Per 
pkt. 10c. 
Crimson Monarch—By far the largest and best of 
the red shades. Flowers often 8 inches in diameter. 
Plants very vigorous. A marvelous production of ex¬ 
traordinary merit. Per pkt. 10c. 
Dream—A fine deep lavender, turning to purple 
(Mallow Purple), a new, desirable shade in Zinnias. 
Per pkt. 10c.

tion. Truly DAHLIA flowered as regards form and 
size. Color light rose with center a deep rose. (Tyrian 
Rose.) Per pkt. 10c.

immense size and good form. Very attractive. Pkt. 10c.

when in full bloom. Per pkt. 10c. 
Illumination—Similar to Exquisite, but a striking 
self color of deep rose. (Tyrian Rose.) Per pkt. 10c 
Lemon Beauty—This is next to Crimson Monarch in 
size and form. It may be described as a golden yellow 
on brown. Decidedly a pastel shade, and should be in 
every collection. Pkt. 10c.

the darkest of all the red shades. Fine form, with 
good depth of petal. Very large and more floriferous 
than other reds. Per pkt. 10c.

class. It is an immense orange and gold bicolor, 
changing slightly as it ages, but at all times worthy of 
the beautiful bird for which it is named. Pkt. 10c.

as it is of the real Old Rose Shade; it is large, and

ZINNIAS—GIANTS OF 
CALIFORNIA 
This type was introduced in 1926, with the convic¬ 
tion that it was a type that would become a favorite. 
The great advantage of this type is that the very large 
flowers are of enormous size and flat, getting away 
from the conical type of the Giants and eliminating 
the stiffness that has been so objectionable in Zinnias 
in the past. 
Cerise Queen—Beautiful cerise rose. 
Enchantress—Color same as Exquisite in Dahlia 
Flowered type. 
Miss Wilmott—Soft pink.
