W. H. HENDERSON'S GIANT ZINNIAS 
(Illustrated Above) 
Wonderful rich color combinations never before seen in this type of zinnias. Enormous full 
double flowers rivaling dahlias. This strain is unique in that no two individuals are alike in color 
or type. Many new types are semi-cactus, crested and the new chrysanthemum flowered type. 
Colors including old gold, salmon, golden yellow, orange, scarlet, dark velvet, crimson, lavender, 
light and deep pink, with flame centers. They represent the very highest development stage of the 
modern zinnias. Seed offered only in mixed colors (above 150 seeds in pkt.) 50c pkt.; $1.25 for 3 
pkts. No half-packets offered. 
The Zinnias described above are the result of twelve years of constant selection and crossing. 
Anyone who has ever seen these in bloom needs no introduction as to their superior colors and size.
