Zinnia, Scabiosa-Flowered 
Scabiosa-Flowered Zinnia 
862 MIXED. An entirely distinct and 
attractive strain of Zinnia of exquisite 
form, reminding one of Double-Crested 
Cosmos. The flowers are of medium 
size and each bears a collar of petals 
surmounted by a full double crest of 
the same tone of color. The plants 
are very free-flowering and range in 
color from pale rose to crimson and 
scarlet with orange, golden and pur¬ 
ple shades. Being about 2% feet in 
height, this strain makes a remarkably 
pleasing effect when used for bedding 
purposes. Pkt., 15c; special pkt., 50c. 
Zinnia, Crown o' Gold 
863 MIXED. This new Zinnia derives its 
name and distinction from the fact 
that each petal of the flower is over¬ 
laid with a deep golden-yellow at the 
base, while carrying out the individual 
flower color at the tip. The effect is a 
very pleasing two-tone color harmony. 
The color range comprises the more 
popular shades, including old rose, 
cream, yellow, carmine, and burnished 
red; the latter a new shade in Zinnias.

864 DESERT GOLD. Several years ago 
we offered the fascinating new 
Zinnia, Crown o’ Gold, in mixture. 
The yellow and gold shades in this 
mixture were immediately pro¬ 
claimed the most attractive and 
sought after as separate colors. 
We are very happy now to offer 
these shades as Desert Gold, a va¬ 
riety containing the light and deep 
hues of gold, each petal overlaid 
at the base with a deeper golden 
yellow, giving a charming bicolor 
combination. Those who appreci- 
age the finest in Zinnias will wel¬ 
come Desert Gold. Pkt., 25c.

870 TOM THUMB MIXTURE. Tom 
^ Thumb is without exception the 
dwarfest Zinnia known. The plants 
are rounded and compact, 4 to 6 
inches high, literally covered with 
well-formed flowers of the Lilliput 
type. The color range includes red, 
orange, yellow, pink, rose, and other 
pastel shades. During the hot dry 
summer months this is the ideal bor¬ 
der plant and is also well adapted 
for window box and pot work. Pkt., 
20c. 
871 FANTASY MIXED. New Zinnias are 
always welcomed by home growers 
and florists alike. While the giant- 
flowered varieties are still popular, 
the trend of late years has been 
toward the smaller flowered, more 
graceful strains. This new Fantasy 
Mixture meets this demand in all de¬ 
tails. The rounded flowers are com¬ 
posed of a mass of shaggy ray-like 
petals which give a delicate and re¬ 
fined appearance to the medium-sized 
double flowers, large enough to satis¬ 
fy the desire for mass of color, yet 
small enough to lend themselves 
gracefully to flower arrangement. The 
color range includes the brightest 
shades of reds and orange, as well 
as the popular pastel pinks and cream.
