THE FLOWERS ON THE FRONT COVER 
The picture on the cover of this catalog is a natural, 
unretouched color photograph. Its glorious Zinnias were 
caught by the magic of the modern color camera just as 
they came from the garden . . . just as they can be grown 
in your garden. 
Two varieties of Zinnias are pictured . . . DAHLIA 
FLOWERED, and CALIFORNIA GIANTS. These are the 
largest blooming Zinnias known. The full-color picture on 
the cover shows only a few of the marvelous, bright and 
pastel shades they come in. 
The plants are tall, branch freely, and start to flower 
about 60 days after seed is sown. They keep on blooming 
profusely over a long period if seeds are not allowed 
to form. 
Make a note of these two—right now—so you'll be sure 
to enjoy them in your garden this season.
