THREE NEW ZINNIAS 
FANTASY, MIXED. The very informal, shaggy-appearing flowers 
are graceful and interesting, quite distinct from the stiff, formal 
Zinnias to which we are accustomed. The rounded, medium-sized 
flowers are composed of a mass of shaggy, ray-like petals which give 
a delicate and refined appearance, large enough to satisfy the desire 
for mass of color, yet small enough to lend themselves gracefully 
to flower arrangement. The color-range includes the brightest 
shades of red, yellow, and orange, as well as the popular pastel 
pinks and creams. Trade Pkt. 25 cts., V^oz. 60 cts., oz. $ 2 . 
DESERT GOLD (A Crown o’Gold Hybrid). Gardeners who 
appreciate the finest in Zinnias will welcome Desert Gold, of the 
new Crown o’Gold strain. These are segregated colors, the light 
and deeper hues of gold, being equally striking in the garden or 
when the flowers are used for cut-bloom. Height 2 to 2)^ feet. 
Trade Pkt. 25 cts., 75 cts., oz. $ 2 . 50 . 
SCABIOUS-FLOWERED HYBRIDS. The flowers are of medium 
size but are produced in great profusion. They have wide outer 
florets, but the inner section of the flower is deep and made up of 
shorter, more tubular florets closely compacted; the result is they 
resemble the flowers of scabious. Colors in the mixture include 
crimson, scarlet, orange, yellow, pink, and white. Trade Pkt. 
25 cts., V^oz. 75 cts., oz. $ 2 . 50 . 
Dwarf Salmon-Rose Zinnia 
While the Giant Double and Dahlia-flowered Zinnias are in great 
demand for cutting purposes, we wish to recommend this very 
beautiful variety for bedding or for table decoration. The color is a 
brilliant salmon-rose. 15 cts., oz. 50 cts., V4H>- $ 1 . 50 . 
Dahlia-flowered Zinnias 
The plants are of the same vigorous habit as our California Giants. 
They attain the height of 3 feet, producing mammoth flowers averaging 
6 inches across by 3 to 4 inches in depth, similar in shape to the deco¬ 
rative dahlia. We consider these the most popular type for cutting.
