THE NEW TYPE ZINNIA 
1253 Fantasy (Award of Merit 1935). (2 to 
iy 2 feet.) The rounded flowers are composed 
of a mass of shaggy ray-like petals which give 
a delicate and refined appearance to the medium 
sized double flowers, large enough to satisfy the 
desire for mass color yet small enough for graceful 
arrangement. Colors include the brightest reds, 
orange and the pastel pinks and cream. Finest 
Mixed. Pkt. 1 5c. 
1264 Star Dust (Fantasy) (Award of Merit 
1937). The first separate color of the Fantasy 
type. The color is a rich deep golden yellow, 
blooms early about 45 to 50 days from planting, 
is very free flowering. We believe this type Zinnia 
will become very popular as its delicate and grace¬ 
ful qualities become better known. Pkt. 15c.
