NEW DAHLIA FLOWERED 
ZINNIA HA 
Besides producing by far the largest 
flowers of all the Zinnias, the Dahlia- 
flowered varieties are distinguished by 
being nearly as deep in the center as they 
are wide, with smaller individual petals 
than the ordinary varieties, but many more 
of them. Moreover, their colors are softer 
and more pleasing, being characterized by 
blended shades and pastel effects which, 
with the slightly reflexed and closely over¬ 
lapping petals, give the whole flower the 
appearance of a fine satin cushion. The 
plants are tall and vigorous, producing a 
wealth of immense blooms from July un¬ 
til frost. to 3 feet. 
We offer the most popular shades: 
2585— Exquisite. Light rose, center deep 
rose. Most pleasing color in Zinnias. 
2586— Old Rose. A charming old rose 
shade. Very popular. 
2587— Golden State. Deep yellow in the 
bud, turning to clear rich orange in full 
bloom. 
2588— Crimson Monarch. Striking crim¬ 
son. Enormous flowers, often 8 inches in 
diameter. 
2589— Lavender Gem. Deep lavender 
turning to purple. A rare color in Zinnias.

SALZER’S CALIFORNIA 
GIANT DOUBLE ZINNIAS 
This fine new type has smaller centers and 
more loosely placed petals than the old Large 
Flowering Dwarf Zinnias. The size of the flower 
has been notably increased over the Giant Show 
type. The petals are decidedly imbricated and 
the flower from bud to bloom assumes a suc¬ 
cession of graceful forms. 3 to 4 feet. 
The flowers are truly giant in size, frequently 
measuring 6% to 7 inches in diameter, and are 
borne on long and strong stems. When cut the 
graceful flowers last exceptionally long in wa¬ 
ter, and make a lovely bouquet. Everyone who 
has seen them has greatly admired this lovely 
new mammoth type of Zinnia, and its lovely 
range of colors. We offer it to our customers 
with the confidence that it will be a most wel- 
come addition to the flower garden.
