Schell’s Quality Zinnias 
Pompon, Lilliput, or Baby Zinnias 
Mexican Zinnias, Double Mixed 
Our large-flowering perfect type Zinnias are unexcelled for size, color, and beauty of form. We are constantly 
receiving letters from our customers similar to this one from Mr. Andrew J. Baird; and, as he says, there is a great 
difference between these very outstanding Zinnias of ours and those from other sources. October 18, 1936. 
“Dear Mr. Schell: I thought you might be interested to know that for three years I have taken FIRST PRIZE 
at the State Fair held at Trenton, N. J., with Schell’s Gold Medal Dahlia-flowered Zinnias. I have grown 
Zinnias for a number of years but none compare with those grown from your seeds.” — Andrew J. Baird, N. J. 
We offer here, on pages 63, 64 and 65, ten different classes of Zinnias, each so beautiful that you should grow them all. Zinnias 
are today one of the most popular in the entire flower family. These improved varieties, of large size and many bright colors, 
have made them greatly in demand for cut-flowers and for bed¬ 
ding. Plant plenty of seed. All are Annuals blooming abundantly 
from early summer until frost. 
W See the new Zinnia, Fantasy, in color on page 59 , and see 
also our Gold Medal Dahlia-flowered Zinnias in color on page 63 , 
also the New Zinnia Fantasy, Star Dust, on our front cover in 
color. This was given the Award of Merit as one of the best 
new flowers for 1937 . 
Schell’s New Zinnia 
Pumila Picotee Delight,Golden Ray 
Beautiful new type of Zinnia. The flowers are of medium size, 
so much in demand for cutting, of handsome golden orange color, 
and are borne in great profusion as the plants, 2 feet high, are 
very free flowering. The tip of each petal of the golden orange 
flowers is outlined with a delicate edging of “brick-red,” a touch 
which brings out the full beauty of each flower. One of the very 
best for cut-flowers. Pkt. 15 cts.; 2 pkts. 25 ets.; tyioz. $1.25; 
1 / 2 OZ. $2. 
New Zinnia, Scabious-Flowered

stems long enough to make fine bouquets for small 
vases and bowls.
