DUTHIE SEED CO. 
Giant Zinnias 
Dodger’s Gold Medal Dahlia-Flowered 
Few flowers are so easily grown from seed! sown in the open ground or 
bloom so abundantly and continuously as this hardy annual. Marvellous im¬ 
provements have been wrought in the newer strains. We recommend them 
for groups, beds, borders and summer hedges, where they will bloom quite 
freely, but are incomparably bright during the month of August. Sow seed 1 in 
the open ground early in the spring or start in hotbed or window and trans¬ 
plant when ground is suitably warmed. 
DOUBLE DAHLIA-FLOWERED ZINNIAS 
This mammoth sized, unusual shaped and color perfected type has revolution¬ 
ized the appearance of our annual gardens during the past few years. They 
very closely resemble the double decorative type Dahlias in form and in their 
robust growth. Plants get up to 3 feet in height, with perfect flowers often 
6 inches wide by 3 and 4 inches in depth. These range widely as to cblor, 
even introducing depth and tones heretofore unknown in Zinnias. 
CRIMSON MONARCH—One of the best, with immense flowers. A 
bright and attractive shade of crimson-tecarlet. The blooms are of 
perfect form, borne in great profusion. 
EXQUISITE—The flowers resemble a large 
Decorative Dahlia. They are a pleasing- 
shade of reddish rose with deeper rose in 
the center. One of the most attractive of 
this type. 
GOLDEN STATE—An excellent color. Rich 
golden yellow, shading to orange as the 
flower ages. Bloomfii are large, of true Dahlia 
form, borne on long stems. 
SOARLET FLAME — A orange-scarlet. 
A dazzling color; is one of the brightest, 
always attracting attention. Blooms pro¬ 
fusely. 
DREAM—The large flowers are a distinct 
shade of deep lavender, shading to purple 
as they age. Very large and of fine form. 
A free bloomer of strong and sturdy growth. 
ORIOLE—Considered the most beautiful of 
its class. Immense orange and gold bicolor, 
changing slightly as it ages. 
METEOR—A rich flowing deep red, the 
darkest of all the red shades, fine form. Very 
large and greater bloomer than other reds. 
BUTTERCUP—An immense deep creamy 
yellow. Very desirable and should be in¬ 
cluded in every collection.

beauty ranks next to Exquisite.

GIANTS OF CALIFORNIA 
The great advantage of! this type is that the very large flowers are of enormous size and flat, get¬ 
ting away from the conical type of the Giants and eliminating the stiffness that has been so objection¬ 
able in Zinnias in the past. The flowers from the time they open are attractive, making them a good 
cut flower from the early bud until they are in full bloom. They are twice the size of the ordinary 
Giants.

in Dahlia Flowered type.

orange.
