Breck’s Defiance Zinnia 
Breck’s Zinnias^ 
Breck’s Defiance is without exception the finest strain of large Double Zinnias offered. The plants are of vigor¬ 
ous branching habit and produce freely immense double flowers in an endless variety of splendid colors; not the 
old hard red, but innumerable delicate and velvety shades. The separate colors are saved from the same collection, 
which is admitted to be the finest in Europe. Seed sown early in heat will begin to bloom in June and continue 
until frost, or seed may be sown outdoors where the plants are intended to bloom.
