Breck’s Midget 
7267 Mixed. Compact little plants 9 inches high, bearing a profusion of small, 
well-formed flowers of the Lilliput type. It is often most effective to plant 
giant Zinnias at the back of a bed with intermediate and dwarf varieties 
in front. These Midgets answer the border problem. Colors range through 
red, orange, yellow, pink, rose, and other pastel shades. Splendid also for 
pot-plants. Offered in mixture only. Pkt. 25c. 
Breck’s Lilliput Zinnias 
Desert Gold 
7268 A new strain of Dahlia-flowered 
Zinnias, which in beauty of bloom equal 
or excel any others of the class. The 
flowers are unusually large, with broad 
petals that lie close together. Colors 
range through many shades of yellow, 
from creamy ochre to deep, rich, shin¬ 
ing gold. The glowing colors light up 
the garden like the rays of the morning 
sun, and are equally lovely when used 
for indoor decorations. The plants are 
from 23^ to 3 feet in height and are 
more than generous in producing their 
glorious golden flowers. Pkt. 25c. 
Achievement 
7270 Mixed. A distinct type of Zinnia with peculiar 
petals, tubular at the base and expanding toward 
the tip. The flowers are larger than the giant type 
and appear in shades of orange and bronze. 
Pkts. 15c and 35c. 
Mexicana Hybrids 
7271 Mixed. Handsome annuals of spreading habit, 
18 to 24 inches high, with single, semi-double, and 
double flowers somewhat like those of French 
marigolds, in shades of yellow, orange, crimson, 
and brown; some striped, blotched, and tipped 
with contrasting colors. In the last two or three 
years the type and color-range have been greatly 
improved. Pkt. 25c. 
Mexicana Hybrid Zinnias 
Scabiosa-flowered 
7272 Mixed. A rare new development, with a single row of brightly colored petals sur¬ 
rounding a close quilled, tufted center of a contrasting shade. Flowers erect, long- 
stemmed, and valuable for cutting. Pkt. 25c. 
Fantasy Zinnias 
7275 Mixed. These new and exceedingly beautiful Zinnias captured an Award of Merit 
in the 1935 All-America Seed-Trials. The petals are waved and twisted in a most un¬ 
usual manner. The colors range from pure white through shades of pink and yellow to 
deep crimson, orange, and scarlet. Plants grow 2 Y 2 feet tall or more, and bloom profusely 
and continuously. Pkt. 15c. 
Zinnia linearis 
7290 Compact, branching plants, reaching a height of about 15 inches and having a 
spread of as much as 2 feet. The graceful, single flowers appear early in the Summer, al¬ 
most covering the slender, dark green foliage until cut down by frosts late in the season. 
The color is a deep golden orange with a delicate light yellow stripe in the midst of 
each petal, contrasting boldly with the dark centers. Linearis is most attractive and 
fairly sparkles in the sunlight. Pkt. 25c.
