Zinnia Lilliput Pastel Mixture 
Because of the neat, compact, symmetrical habit of the flowers to¬ 
gether with their small size and stem length, they are particularly 
fine for cutting for bouquets. Until this past season, there has been 
no strictly pastel variety in the Lilliput type. In the Pastel Mixture, 
however, there has been incorporated the very lovely soft shades of 
apricot, peach, creamy yellow, shell pink, delicate salmon, light 
rose and orchid which are prime favorites with florist and cut 
flower growers. The plants are 12 to 15 inches in height, neat in 
habit, compact growing and very free flowering. It is one of the 
early blooming types, producing flowers about 45 days after seed 
is sown.
