Zinnia Fantasy 
Zinnia—F antasy 
ZINNIA 
Victory Quilled or Cac¬ 
tus Flowered 
Attractive Petals so Tightly Curled 
as to Resemble Quills 
It is distinct from all other Zin¬ 
nias by the shape of its petals 
which are tubular at the base and 
expand towards the tip, displaying 
a rich variety of color. On the re¬ 
verse side of the petals the color 
runs into a softer tint, making a 
beautiful combination. All colors 
mixed. Pkt. 10c; Vs oz. 30c; Vi oz. 
Fully as large as the Dahlia Flowered, they are of the true Zinnia type, 
flat without the conical center, being nearly a solid face with loosely 
placed petals. I have grown flowers fully 5 inches in diameter. Plants 
are of robust habit, attaining a height of about 3 feet, and should be 
given 18 to 24 inches between each to allow for full development; they 
bear numerous semi-globular mostly very double flowers on long, strong 
stems, all of the largest size, making them of great value in large beds, 
borders, etc.; grown under favorable conditions they remain in bloom 
from early summer to late autumn. I offer the colors separately, as well 
as a splendid mixture of many colors. 
LEMON QUEEN. This is of immense size, color light canary on the 
upper and cerise on the lower side. It is also unique inasmuch as it 
carries a pleasant odor. Pkt. 10c; Vs oz. 39c. 
ORANGE KING. This is a striking shade and can be compared favor¬ 
ably with the color of the Calendula from which it takes its name. Pkt. 
10c; Vs ° z - 39c. 
PURITY. Like the Dahlia Flowered Polar Bear, this is a clear white. It 
has lost the greenish tint that has made white Zinnias unpopular in 
the past. Pkt. 10c; Vs ° z - 39c. 
ROSE QUEEN. This flower opens first as bright rose with a deep rose 
red center and gradually develops into a warm deep rose when in full 
bloom. Pkt. 10c; Vs oz. 39c. 
Monarch 
Dahlia Flowered Zinnia 
35c 
One packet each of the four colors 
described above for only. 
MIXED. The above four colors mixed in equal proportion makes a splen¬ 
did show of bright colors. Pkt. 10c; Vs oz. 39c; y 2 oz. $1.00.

Haines California Giants Zinnias 
Here is a really different flower that you will 
surely want in your new garden. Instead of the 
stiff formal petals which I find in most Zinnias, 
this has informal, shaggy, graceful flower heads 
which are most interesting. Beautiful in the 
garden and a lovely cut flower. Finest mixed 
colors. Pkt. 20c; 2 Pkts. 35c. 
New Picotee 
Every Petal Beautifully Tipped 
A remarkable and beautiful new type of Zinnias 
developed in California. The flowers are always 
of the largest size, measuring 4 to 6 inches in 
diameter. The blooms come in many bright 
colors—pink, light and rich yellow, orange, etc., 
and all are tipped rich mahogany brown on the 
end of each petal. Pkt. 10c; Vs oz - 30c; Vi oz. 
50c. 
Mexican or New Star 
An Unusual Variety of Single Star Shaped Flower 
This new and beautiful flower is the only Zin¬ 
nia ever grown which comes absolutely single and 
when open shows the true star shape. It is pe- 
Zinnia culiar in its construction ; not double, not single— 
as the word is usually interpreted—nor yet could 
it be called crested. It must be seen to be appreciated. Flowers are of 
good size, usually 2 inches in diameter and of good intense colors. Nearly 
every color known is there from crimson to white, besides color combina¬ 
tions. Petals are rich and velvety, and appear almost artificial in their 
perfection. Plants are dwarf, and hold the flower stem erect, presenting 
a beautiful appearance. Pkt. 8c; Vs oz. 24c; V 2 oz. 75c. 
New Picotee 
HAINES New Dahlia Flowered ZINNIAS 
Monstrous Flowers ; Wonderfu l Colors; Continuous Bloomers 
The plants are strong, vigorous 
habit, fully 3 feet high, producing 
mammoth flowers averaging 6 inches 
across by 3 to 4 inches deep, similar 
in shape to the Double Decorative 
Dahlias. 
EXQUISITE. Light rose color with a 
deeper colored center; the flowers re¬ 
semble a dahlia in form and size. 
This is one of the most attractive 
colors grown. Pkt. 12c; Vs oz. 40c. 
GOLDEN DAWN. (New.) An attrac¬ 
tive and beautiful golden yellow of 
good shape and largest size. Every¬ 
one admired it in my gardens last 
summer. Pkt. 12c; Vs oz - 40c. 
MONARCH. The largest and best of 
the red shades. Plants are strong 
growers, and are covered with beau¬ 
tiful large flowers throughout the 
season. Pkt. 12c; Vs oz. 40c. 
ORIOLE. An immense orange and gold 
bi-color; the color changes gradually 
as the plant ages, but presents a 
magnificent appearance at all times. 
Pkt. 12c; Vs ° z - 40c. 
POLAR BEAR. A large pure white. 
True form and one of the best. This 
always comes the true dahlia flow¬ 
ered and is the finest white Zinnia 
I have ever seen. Pkt. 12c; Vs oz. 
40c. 
ILLUMINATION. (New.) A deep rose 
color. Does not burn or fade. Lasts 
well when cut. Pkt. 12c; Vs oz - 40c. 
Zinnia—Haines Giant 
Balloon Flowered 
Large Double Flowers of 
Unequalled Colors and Beauty 
An entirely new class of Zin¬ 
nias, giant in size, measuring 4 
to 5 inches across and perfectly 
double flowers, of richest, most 
varied colors and shades. Few 
flowers are more easily grown or 
bloom more abundantly through¬ 
out the season, and the wide range 
of color is no less remarkable 
than their unusual depth and rich¬ 
ness. Plants grow 3 feet high. 
There is much satisfaction in a 
bed of Zinnias with their twisted 
and recurved petaled flowers in 
many bright colors and when 
nearly every other flower has been 
killed by frost this plant is still 
in full bloom. Pkt. 10c; V 4 oz. 
25c; oz. 75c.
