RECENT NOVELTIES AND SPECIALTIES for 1938 
Zinnia, Double California Giant 
Zinnia, Cupid 
The smallest of all the Zinnias. Compact, 
well-formed plants 1 foot tall. Each of the 
numerous upright stems bears a miniature, 
button-like flower which hardly exceeds 1 inch 
in diameter. Cupid Zinnias are especially 
adapted for borders, bedding, and the rock- 
garden; also ideal as a miniature cut-flower. 
See color plate, inside back cover.

Pixie. Bright yellow. 
Snowdrop. Pure white. Mixed. 
Each, pkt. 15 cts.; large pkt. 40 cts. 
COLLECTION: One pkt. each of above 3 
colors, 35 cts. 
Zinnia, Lilliput, Pastel 
Navajo 
Flowers are of medium size, double and 
semi-double, and composed of long, narrow 
petals, some of which are slightly incurved 
or fluted. The outer one-third of each petal 
is heavily tipped white, creamy white, or 
creamy yellow, or a lighter color than the 
center of the flower. The vivid colorings 
remind one of those seen in a Navajo rug. 
Plants are about 2 feet tall and very free 
flowering. Pkt. 15 cts.; large pkt. 40 cts. 
Mixture 
While there is a great diversification of 
type in the newer Zinnia introductions, the 
older types still maintain their popularity. 
This is particularly true of the Lilliputs. 
Until this past season there has been no 
strictly pastel varieties 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 as cut-flowers. The 
plants are 12 to 15 inches in height, neat in 
habit, compact growing and very free flower¬ 
ing. Pkt. 15 cts.; J4oz. 50 cts.; oz. $1.75. 
Zinnia, Gaillardia-flowered Navajo 
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. 
CERISE QUEEN. Pure, bright flaming 
orange-rose. 
DAFFODIL. Bright canary-yellow. 
ENCHANTRESS. Tyrian rose. 
LAVENDER QUEEN. Deep lavender. 
LEMON QUEEN. Lemon-orange. 
MISS WILLMOTT. Soft pink. 
ORANGE KING. Burnt-orange. 
PURITY. White. 
SALMON QUEEN. Deep salmon-rose. 
SCARLET QUEEN. Glowing scarlet. 
Any of above, pkt. 15 cts.; y 4 oz. 60 cts. 
Mixed. Pkt. 10 cts.; %oz. 40 cts.; oz. $1.25. 
COLLECTION: One pkt. each of the above 
10 varieties, $1.25

Zinnia, Scabious-flowered 
Zinnia, Scabious-flowered, 
This is the latest development in the 
Scabious-flowered type of Zinnia. The strain 
is composed of a mixture of rich autumn 
shades such as burnt orange, deep russet, 
bronzy red, etc. Flowers are of medium size 
with the characteristic crested center sur¬ 
rounded by a row of guard petals produced 
on plants 2}/% to 3 feet tall. This strain is 
particularly well adapted for cut-flower use. 
Pkt. 20 cts.; large pkt. 50 cts. 
Zinnia, Fantasy, Star Dust 
Zinnia, Fantasy 
Zinnia, Fantasy, 
Star Dust 
This is the first of the sep¬ 
arate 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. 20 cts.; large pkt. 50 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. See color plate, inside back cover. Pkt. 
25 cts.; large pkt. 75 cts. 
Zinnia, Gaillardia-flowered 
Autumn Tints 
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 grace¬ 
fully to flower arrangement. See 
color plate, inside back cover. 
Mixed. Pkt. 15c.; large pkt. 40c.
