cutting purposes. Easy to grow 
in any good garden soil. They 
commence flowering early in the 
Summer and continue until frost.

FLOWERED ZINNIAS 
Plants of vigorous habit, from 
2J<2 to 3 ft. high; mammoth 
flowers 4 to 6 in. across and 
to 3 in. deep and so closely 
resembling decorative Dahlias 
that when placed by their side, 
it is difficult to distinguish one 
from the other. This new type 
is also valuable for growing 
under glass for cutting.

151. Crimson Monarch. By far the 
largest and best of the red shades; plants 
very vigorous.

times worthy of the beautiful bird for which

the best white yet seen in Zinnias.

Zinnia, Scabiosa-flowering 
160. ZINNIA FANTASY, NEW CHRYS¬ 
ANTHEMUM-FLOWERED. The outstand¬ 
ing Zinnia novelty of 1935. The strikingly 
attractive and beautiful flowers are 3 in. in 
diameter, in the brilliant colors of the im¬ 
proved, large flowering sorts and there are 
newer and unusual pastel shades. The flow¬ 
ers are borne on long, strong stems covering 
the well rounded, bushy plants with color. 
The flowers keep well when cut. Picking the 
blooms freely causes the plants to branch 
and increases the production of flowers. 
Those forming at an angle are held in that 
position without drooping. The plants are 
quite free from insects and disease. They 
grow where any garden plant can be grown, 
doing best in full sun, but thrive also in 
partial shade. Does well under glass for cut 
flowers. Pkt. 15c., and 40c. 
160a. ZINNIA, SCABIOSA-FLOWER¬ 
ING (1932 Novelty). This new Zinnia is en¬ 
tirely different to all other Zinnias. The 
plant reaches a height of 40 in. and flowers 
profusely. Its outstanding feature consists in 
the formation of the flower forming 
an outer ring of long petals, whereas 
the center shows many small flowers 
which at first sight have a great like¬ 
ness with the Scabiosa. Mixed 
colors. Pkt. 15c. 
161. DWARF DOUBLE ZIN¬ 
NIAS. Compact bushes not over 
2 ft. in height; double flowers, all of 
the largest size, making them of 
great value in large beds, borders, 
etc.; grown under favorable condi¬ 
tions, they remain in bloom from 
early Summer to late Autumn. We 
offer this seed in a splendid mixture. 
Pkt. 10c., oz. 50c. 
162. ROBUSTA, or GIANT 
DOUBLE ZINNIAS. Plants grow 
to a height of 2J^ to 3 ft. with im¬ 
mense, perfectly double flowers; 
splendid for cutting or garden effect. 
Pkt. 10c., oz. 50c. 
163. ROBUSTA, or GIANT 
DOUBLE ROSE KING. A beauti¬ 
ful carmine rose. Pkt. 10c., oz. 50c. 
164. DOUBLE LILLIPUT or POMPON! 
ZINNIAS. A very pretty type of compact 
habit not over 15 in. high, bearing in lavish 
profusion, small, densely double flowers on 
long stems, held well above the foliage. 
Makes a good border or bed and are of more 
than usual value for cutting. Yellow, salmon, 
rose, red, white, lilac, and all colors mixed. 
Also Rosebud (new) rose pink. Each, pkt. 
10c., oz. $1.00; a pkt. of each color, 40c. 
165. CURLED AND CRESTED ZINNIA. 
The petals of this beautiful strain are twisted, 
curled and crested into the most fantastic 
and graceful forms. The colors comprise all 
the brilliant shades characteristic of the 
Zinnia. Pkt. 10c., oz. 75c. 
166. M.-S. PICOTEE TYPE ZINNIA. 
This exquisite new Zinnia, the flowers of 
which are not quite as large as the double 
giants, are very effective in appearance, as 
the edges of the petals are all well marked 
with a distinct color to the body of the flower, 
making them very attractive as bedders and 
cut flowers. Pkt. 10c., oz. $1.00. 
Mrs. E. F. Joyce of the Four Rivers 
Garden Club, says: “Your Dahlia Flowering 
Zinnias were the finest at our August meet¬ 
ing, also took -prizes with them at a local 
show.”
