Zinnias for Every Purpose 
Few, if any, annuals have greater utility value than that of 
the Zinnia. Many distinct types have been developed, some 
bearing flowers of enormous size and others producing minia¬ 
ture double blooms in profusion. For early flowers sow seed 
indoors in March and transplant seedlings to the garden in 
early May, or, if preferred, sow seed in open ground in April. 
Space the large flowering and taller sorts from iy 2 to 2 feet 
apart; Pompon or Lilliput types 8 to 12 inches apart. 
Giant Dahlia-Flowered Zinnias 
The most outstanding of all Zinnias because of the wonder¬ 
ful range of rich colors. The flowers are immense, often mea¬ 
suring 5 to G inches across, and 3 to 4 inches in depth. They 
are borne profusely from late summer until frost. The bushes 
are 2% to 3 feet tall, of well-rounded form.

and holds its color well until out of bloom. Pkt., 15c. 
808 CRIMSON MONARCH. By far the largest and best of the 
red shades. Flowers often eight inches in diameter. Plants 
very vigorous. A marvelous production of extraordinary 
merit. Pkt., 15c. 
809 DREAM. A fine, deep lavender, turning to purple (Mallow 
Purple), a new, desirable shade in Zinnias. Pkt., 15c.

shade of deep rose. Pkt., 15c.

size and form. It may be described as a golden-yellow on 
brown. Decidedly a pastel shade and should be in every col¬ 
lection. Pkt., 15c.

darkest of all the red shades. Fine form, with good depth of 
petal. Very large and more floriferous than other reds. 
Pkt., 15c. 
816 ODD ROSE. This is adequately described by its name, as 
it is of the real old-rose shade; it is large and for charm 
and beauty we consider it ranks next to Exquisite. Pkt., 15c. 
817 ORIODE. We consider this the most beautiful of its,class. 
It is an immense orange and gold bicolor, changing slightly 
as it ages, but at all times worthy of the beautiful bird for

yet seen in Zinnias. True Dahlia form. Pkt., 15c.
