Zinnia, Double California 
Giants 
The great advantage of this type is that 
the very large flowers are imbricated and 
flat, getting away from the conical type of 
the Giant-flowered and eliminating the stiff¬ 
ness that has been objectionable in Zinnias 
in the past. The blooms, from the time they 
open, are attractive, making a fine cut- 
flower. They are twice the size of the ordi¬ 
nary Double Giants.

orange-rose. 
DAFFODIL. Bright canary-yellow.

Zinnia, Fantasy 
The most fascinating new Zinnia type 
introduced to the flower world in many years. 
Informal, shaggy, graceful, and interesting, 
it is distinct from the stiff, formal Zinnia to 
which we are accustomed. The color-range 
includes the brightest shades of red, yellow, 
and orange, as well as the popular pastel 
pinks and cream. The rounded, medium¬ 
sized flowers lend themselves gracefully to 
flower arrangement. Shown in color on inside 
back cover. Mixed, pkt. 15c.; large pkt. 40c. 
Zinnia, Fantasy, Star Dust 
This is the first of the separate colors of 
Fantasy Zinnias. It is a rich deep golden 
yellow, and we have no doubt that it will be 
welcome as a cut-flower. Pkt. 25 cts.; large 
pkt. 75 cts. 
Zinnia linearis 
A dwarf, early-flowering form somewhat 
comparable to Z. Haageana. The single flow¬ 
ers are deep golden orange in color, with a 
delicate light yellow stripe which contrasts 
boldly with the dark center, a combination 
which is most attractive. Plants reach a 
height of 8 to 10 inches with a spread of as 
much as 2 feet and are a solid mass of color 
for several weeks. One of the finest novel¬ 
ties. Shown in color on inside back cover. 
Pkt. 25 cts.; large pkt. 75 cts.
