A & M CALIFORNIA ZINNIAS 
There is perhaps no better illustration of the advancement in plant breeding than the glorious Zinnias grown today. 
From the small flowers of a few years back have been evolved the marvels of size, color, form and wonderful freedom 
in flowering which is seen in the latest creations. The Zinnia is one of the most satisfactory flowers to grow through 
the summer. It is extremely colorful, stands considerable heat and has few pests. As a cut flower it is unexcelled. 
Zinnias are best grown from seeds sown where the plants are to remain. The seeds are easily sprouted if sown in 
warm soil. In preparing the soil, irrigate, pulverize and level, sow the seeds in a shallow furrow and firm the soil to 
them. If the seeds are sown in freshly turned soil, there should be sufficient moisture to sprout them without sprink¬ 
ling. If sprinkling becomes necessary to sprout the seeds, keep the soil thoroughly moist to prevent surface crusting 
until the plants are up. A & M Zinnias are the very finest and latest improved selections. Hundreds of customers 
write to us each year, telling us of the wonderful flowers they have produced from A & M Zinnias. 
Zinnia Fantasy 
FANTASY 
As different from the ordinary stiff formal Zinnias as one 
could imagine. The delicate, lacy petaled flowers lend an air 
of friendly informality to the garden or flower arrangement. 
Ideally suited to any decorative use, the medium-sized shaggy 
flowers are borne profusely on 2% to 3 foot plants, in a wide 
and varied color range which includes the brightest shades of 
red, yellow, orange, as well as the popular pastel shades. Do not 
be too anxious to cut them when they first bloom as it takes 
about two weeks for the flower to become fully developed from 
the time the bud opens. Pkt. 20c. 
CROWN O’ GOLD MIXED 
This Zinnia is an entirely new selection in color combinations. 
Each petal of the flower is overlaid with a golden yellow at the 
base while carrying out the individual color at the tip. The 
effect is very pleasing and the color combinations are of the 
soft tones or perhaps they might be called pastel shades. The 
type of flower and habit of growth are similar to the dahlia- 
flowered Zinnia. Get acquainted with this new Zinnia. Pkt. 20c. 
DESERT GOLD 
A selection from Crown o’ Gold. 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. The color 
has the added advantage of being equally effective in daylight 
or under artificial lights. Pkt. 20c.
