"Flowered Mixture 
AMONG the . oddest and most attractive Zinnia 
fofrms developed//the'/-Scabious Flowered type de¬ 
serves to'be more .widely grown and better known 
than at present.'"All who know it are enthusiastic 
in- its : praise, especially for use in artistic flower 
arrangements. The flowers, somewhat less than 
medium-sized, bear a remarkable resemblance to 
the annual Scabiosa, from which they get their 
name. The plants are extremely free flowering, 2 
to 2\ feet high, giving a wealth of bloom through¬ 
out the summer. While the color range includes all 
popular shades, it is particularly rich in shades of 
crimson, scarlet, orange, yellow and pink. 
A moderate percentage of single flowers may 
be expected in this variety, but the percentage can 
be reduced by giving favorable growing condi¬ 
tions. Mixed Colors, 20c.

ACKNOWLEDGED the most distinctive and best selling new Zinnia on the market, Fantasy 
has more than fulfilled all early expectations. Grown by all up-to-date flower connoisseurs

Ideally suited to any decorative use, the rounded, medium-sized shaggy flowers are borne 
profusely on 2\ to 3 foot plants, in a wide and varied color range which includes the bright¬ 
est shades of red, yellow and orange, as well as the popular pastel pinks and cream.

Zinnia Crown o Gold Desert Gold (Bodger) 
DESERT GOLD, during the year since its first offering, has delighted the eyes of all who 
have seen it. The bicolor effect of deep golden yellow at the base of each petal, contrasted 
with light or deeper gold at the tip, is one of arresting beauty, whether on the plants in the 
garden, or when arranged in bouquets indoors. The color has the added advantage of being 
equally effective in daylight or under artificial lights. The flowers are large, double, and 
well formed, on good cutting stems generously produced on plants which reach a height of 
2| io 3 feet. For your better Zinnia border plant Desert Gold. Mixed Pkt., 20c. 
Zinnia Early Wonder Gypsy (Bodger) 
THERE is no flower that can equal the meteoric increase in popularity enjoyed by the Zinnia 
during the past ten or fifteen years. Once shunned by fastidious gardeners, Zinnias are now 
given a prominent position in all gardens. This change, of course, is due to the remarkable 
H npro lf® ment they.have undergone, and to the diversity of forms now available. Our little 
harly wonder strain is considered by some to be the outstanding modern innovation among 
these new forms, due to become the foremost type within a few years' time. Our new deep 
burnished orange variety, Gypsy, is the latest addition to this type, which is exceptionally 
® ar ai ]? c L ree lowering, with medium sized long stemmed flowers on 12 to 15 inch plants. 
^ s the loliage is very sparse, the plants can be grown close together, either in the garden 
or greenhouse. Pkt. 20c.
