THE BETTER NOVELTIES 
OF RECENT YEARS 
ZINNIA LINEARIS 
This little dwarf variety makes a delightful addition to the Zinnia group. The 
miniature single flowers are a lovely shade of golden orange, with a delicate lemon 
yellow stripe through each petal, while the center is dark brown in the young flowers, 
turning golden orange as the pollen develops. The plants start blooming while they 
are still quite small and when fully developed reach a height of 8 to 10 inches and 
may have a spread of as much as 2 feet, making a mass of golden orange. It never 
looks straggly and will start blooming six weeks after the seed is sown. Pkt. 25c. 
NEW PETUNIA — HYBRIDA TOPAZ ROSE 
At last we have the much desired hybrida rose Petunia which will not fade or 
burn under the hottest sun. Topaz Rose is a fiery velvety rose of a brilliancy seldom 
seen. It is slightly suffused with gold which gives it its fiery appearance and the 
throat is the color of topaz. A splendid addition to this popular strain of Petunias.

Tithonia Fireball 
Zinnia Linearis 
TITHONIA SPECIOSA FIREBALL 
This new Mexican Sunflower is as dazzling as a ball of fire. Fireball 
is a very brilliant shade of scarlet orange, contrasting delightfully with the 
clear yellow center. The exceptionally large single flowers 41/2 to 5 inches 
in diameter are carried on fine long stems. The plants are very tall, some 
reaching a height of 8 or 9 feet, however they are neat in appearance, 
filling in well from the base of the plant to the top and unlike the older 
Tithonia do not become ragged looking. Tithonia Fireball is a tender peren¬ 
nial flowering in the late summer and fall and is a truly beautiful subject 
for garden display or as a cut flower. Pkt. 25c. 
Nierembergia Hippomanica 
NIEREMBERGIA HIPPOMANICA 
(Dwarf Cup Flower) 
This new dwarf plant with its dainty cup shaped flowers of lovely 
lavender blue heightened by a touch of yellow in the center, is most 
charming. The plants are compact and not over 5 or 6 inches tall with 
a spread of only 8 to 10 inches. The foliage is light gray-green, very 
inconspicuous and there are literally dozens of flowers in bloom at a 
time throughout the summer. It starts flowering about 15 weeks 
after the seed is sown and keeps right on till late fall, when the 
plants may be cut back and they will send out fresh growth in the 
spring. It is ideal for edging borders, rockeries, window boxes, or as 
a pot plant. Half hardy perennial. Pkt. 25c.
