ZINNIA SCABSOSA-FLOWERED 
ZINNIA FANTASY 
Fantasy is the most fascinating new 
Zinnia type introduced to the flower world 
in many years. The very informal, shaggy 
appearing flowers are graceful and interest¬ 
ing, quite distinct from the stiff, formal 
Zinnias to which we are accustomed. The 
rounded medium sized flowers are composed 
of a mass of shaggy ray-like petals which 
give a delicate and refined appearance, 
large enough to satisfy the desire for mass 
of color, yet small enough to lend them¬ 
selves gracefully to flower arrangement. 
The color range includes the brightest 
shades of red, yellow and orange, as well as 
the popular pastel pinks and cream. 
Height, 234 feet.

Among the oddest and most attractive 
Zinnia forms developed, the Scabious 
Flowered type deserves to be more widely 
grown and better known than at present. 
All who know it are enthusiastic in its 
praise, especially for use in artistic flower 
arrangements. The flowers, somewhat less 
than medium-sized, bear a remarkable re¬ 
semblance to the annual Scabiosa, from 
which they get their name. The plants are 
extremely free flowering, 2 to 234 feet high, 
giving a wealth of bloom throughout the 
summer. While the color range includes all 
popular shades, it is particularly rich in 
shades of crimson, scarlet, orange, yellow 
and pink.
