ZINNIA. 
The Zinnia has always been a garden favorite, yet by man\ 
it has been thought too coarse a flower to deserve a place in 
their favor.. But so greatly has this showy flower been im¬ 
proved that it is no longer under ban, and is even coming into 
favor for cutting. For grouping in a bed, nothing will furnish 
a more gorgeous mass of color, nor give a longer blooming sea¬ 
son. I offer the choicest double varieties. A small per cent will 
come single. Annual; one to three feet. 
Carmine. A beautiful dark red, very handsome to mass with 
yellow. Pkt., 4 cts. 
Curled and Created A splendid strain of California 
grown Zinnias, a beautiful and showy type. The petals art 
daintily curled and crinkled, giving a softness and beauty 
most charming, and relieving the flowers from the stiffness 
and coarseness of the old varieties. They grow to a height of 
two feet, are very double, and range through all the brilliant 
shades of red and yellow, including orange, terra cotta, old 
pink, canary, white, flesh and old gold, both in solid colors 
and variegations. Do not fail to try them. Mixed. Pkt. 
5 cts. 
Elegans. Fine double, all shades, mixed. Pkt., 3 cts. 
Giant Scarlet. Beautiful large scarlet blossoms, contrasi 
ing finely with the white. Pkt., 4 cts 
Giant White. Soft velvety white petals, with flowers al 
most as large and handsome as a Dahlia. Pkt., 4 cts. 
New Haageana. A handsome new dwarf yellow Zinnia 
Flowers very double, much smaller than in ordinary varie 
ties. Pkt., 4 cts. 
Pompone. Flower heads very full and cone-shaped and ap 
pearing in all the colors common to the Zinnia. Seed saved 
from extra selected flowers. Mixed. Pkt., 3 cts. 
New Striped, or Zebra. Double flowers, curiously 
striped and mottled, scarcely two plants producing flowers 
alike. Pkt., 4 cts. 
Tom Thmnb Zinnin. This is a dwarf variety, varying 
from four to twelve inches in height, forming compact, bushy 
little plants, suitable for edgings. Flowers large and double. 
Choice mixed. Pkt., 3 cts. 
Zinnias, mixed. Splendid mixture of above nine varieties. 
Pkt., 4 cts.
