ZINNIAS 
Giant Dahlia-Flowered Zinnias 
These zinnias are so superior to the varieties usually offered that they beggar description. The 
flowers are unusually large, being from four to seven inches in diameter when grown under proper 
conditions with good fertilizer and sufficient moisture. Many of the flowers resemble immense dahlias 
with their long, stout stems that make them unsurpassed as cut flowers. We offer this strain in six 
distinct colors and a mixture: Crimson Monarch, Dream (Deep Lavender), Exquisite (Pink), Lemon 
Queen (Lemon Yellow), Oriole (Golden Yellow), Polar Bear (White), and Mixed. PRICE: Packet, 
each, 10c; three for 25c; seven for 55c. 
Giants of California Zinnias 
A mutation from the Giant Dahlia Flowered Zinnia that is truly enormous in size. The blossom 
is flatter than the Dahlia Flowered type and the stem is not so stiff, which gives it a much more 
graceful appearance. Our mixture contains a wide range of colors. Per packet, 10c. 
Lilliput Zinnias 
A new type of zinnia that is rapidly coming into favor as a bedding plant. Owing to the fact that 
it is only about 12 inches tall, it is suitable either for bedding or window boxes. The flowers which 
are small and button-like and very double are borne in great profusion. Our mixture contains a 
beautiful variety of shades and is very fine for small bouquets and basket work. Per packet, 10c. 
Scabious Flowered Mixture 
This new zinnia is one of the oddest yet one of the most attractive types. It is medium sized, 
bearing remarkable resemblance to the annual Scabiosa from which it gets its name. The plants 
are extremely free flowering, 2 to 2 ^ feet high, giving a wealth of bloom throughout the summer. 
The color range includes such shades as Crimson, Scarlet, Orange, Yellow and Pink. A moderate 
percentage of singles persists in this type but good care will reduce the per cent. Price per packet, 15c. 
Fantasy Finest Mixed 
This new Fantasy Mixture with rounded flowers of shaggy ray-like petals is an outstanding zinnia 
novelty. The plants are 2 to 3 feet high and bearing many blooms throughout the summer. The color 
range includes the brightest shades of Red and Orange as well as the popular pastel shades, Pink 
and Cream. Price per packet, 15c. 
Please include SALES TAX within State of Washington.
