Breck's Midget 
7267 Mixed. Compact little plants 9 inches high, bearing a profusion of 
small, well-formed flowers of the Lilliput type. It is often most effective 
to plant giant Zinnias at the back of a bed with intermediate and dwarf

range through red, orange, yellow, pink, rose, and other pastel shades. 
Splendid also for pot-plants. Offered in mixture only. Pkt. 25c. 
Desert Gold 
7268 The flowers are unusually 
large, with broad petals that lie 
close together. Colors range 
through many shades of yellow, 
from creamy ochre to deep, rich, 
shining gold. The glowing colors 
light up the garden like the rays 
of the morning sun, and are equal¬ 
ly lovely when used for indoor 
decorations. The plants are from 
2Y 2 to 3 feet in height and are 
more than generous in producing 
their cloi-i- 
Zinnia linearis 
7290 Compact, branching plants, reaching a 
height of about 15 inches and having a spread of 
as much as 2 feet. The graceful, single flowers 
appear early in the Summer, almost covering the 
slender, dark green foliage until cut down by 
frosts late in the season. The color is a deep golden 
orange with a delicate light yellow stripe in the 
midst of each petal, contrasting boldly with the 
dark centers. Linearis is most attractive and 
fairly sparkles in the sunlight. Pkt. 15c. 
Scabiosa-Flowered 
Mexicana Hybrids 
7269 Mixed. Handsome annuals of spreading habit, 
18 to 24 inches high, with single, semi-double, and 
double flowers somewhat like those of French 
marigolds, in shades of yellow, orange, crimson, and 
brown; some striped, blotched, and tipped with 
contrasting colors. In the last two or three years 
the type and color-range have been greatly im¬ 
proved. Pkt. 25c.
