Zinnia, Improved Lilliput 
ZINNIAS 
New Giant Dahlia Flowered 
For several years past we have been offering these 
wonderful new Zinnias. This new type of Zinnia far 
surpasses any that has been offered to the public in 
past years. The large size, fullness of petals, extra¬ 
ordinary color range, and good keeping qualities of 
this flower have all contributed to its popularity. The 
flowers are often 7 and 8 inches in diameter on good, 
stout stems. Plants are sturdy, very free blooming, 
and free from disease. 
EXQUISITE —By far the most pleasing of our collec¬ 
tion. Truly Dahlia-flowered as regards form and size. 
Color, light rose with center a deep rose. Tyrian rose. 
Pkt. 15c. 
OLD ROSE —This is adequately described by its name, 
as it is of the real old rose shade; it is large, and for 
charm and beauty we consider it ranks next to Ex¬ 
quisite. Pkt. 15c. 
GOLDEN STATE —A very rich orange yellow (cad¬ 
mium yellow) in the bud, turning to an attractive 
orange when in full bloom. Pkt. 15c.

CRIMSON MONARCH —By far the largest and best 
of red shades. Flowers often 8 inches in diameter. 
Plants very vigorous. A marvelous production of ex¬ 
traordinary merit. Pkt. 15c. 
GIANT ATTRACTION —A distinct shade of brick red 
(spectrum red) which carries its color well from the 
bud, and forms into an immense ball of color when 
in full bloom. Pkt. 15c. 
SCARLET FLAME —A large, beautiful, bright scarlet, 
with a delightful blending of orange throughout the 
petal. This is not a bi-color. Pkt. 15c. 
METEOR —A rich, glowing deep red (spinel red) and 
the largest of all the red shades. Pkt. 15c. 
ORIOLE —We consider this the most beautiful of its 
class. It is an immense orange and gold bi-color, 
changing slightly as it ages, but at all times worthy

(mallow purple), a new desirable shade in Zinnias.
