Michell’s Novelties and Specialties in Flower Seeds 
SWEET PEAS, Summer-flowering 
Cheerie-O. 1937 Novelty. Mammoth, deep begonia-rose 
flowers, suffused with gold—a new color. Plant is vigorous 
and free flowering, throwing blooms that are exceptionally 
large and have perfect Spencer form. 
Peggy Ann. A 1937 introduction of great beauty in a 
rare new shade of attractive salmon-pink that is bewitching 
under artificial light. The elegant blossoms are delightfully 
perfumed, and the stems are long, stout, and strong, with 
four huge blossoms.

ZINNIA, Fantasy, Star Dust 
All-America Winner 
This informal Zinnia will be welcomed with enthusiasm. It 
has the same shaggy-petaled, medium-sized flowers as the mixture, 
but the color is a rich deep golden yellow. Plants grow to 3 feet 
high. The type is very free flowering and early blooming. This 
variety will come very true from seed. Pkt. 25c.; 75c. per large pkt.
