Unusual Zinnias

nating new type of Zinnias introduced to the flower 
world in many years. The very informal, shaggy ap¬ 
pearing flowers are graceful and interesting, quite dis¬ 
tinct from the stiff, formal Zinnias to which we are ac¬

ranges includes the brightest shades of red, yellow 
and orange as well as the popular pastel pinks and 
cream. This should be the sensation of the year.
