Zinnia Linearis is an important novelty 
Michell's Distinctive Zinnias 
We claim perfection in form, size and color for our strain of Zinnias, as those who grow them will attest. 
Fantasy or Chrysanthemum-flowered Varieties 
ORANGE LADY. 1939 All-America Winner. A new separate color 
in the Fantasy group. Orange Lady is a rich shade of deep, bright 
orange. The medium-sized, to 3-inch flowers are shaggy and gay 
in appearance, making a vivid spot of color in the garden and 
extremely desirable for cutting. Of strong growing habits, there are 
flowers in 45 to 50 days after sowing. Trade pkt. 50c.; $2.50 per oz. 
ROSALIE. 1939 All-America Winner. A worthy companion to Orange 
Lady. The color is a bright, intense rose, equally lovely in the garden 
or when cut. The plants are neat in habit, strong growing, free flower¬ 
ing, about 2^ to 3 feet in height. Its delicate, informal flowers, com- 
p>osed of a mass of shaggy, ray-like petals, are a contrast to the stiff, 
formal Zinnias. Trade pkt. 50c.; $2.50 per oz. 
STAR DUST. Novelty. All-America Winner. This informal Star Dust 
Zinnia will be welcomed with enthusiasm. It has the same shaggy- 
petaled, medium-sized flowers as the mixture, but the color is a rich,

pastel pinks and creams. Trade pkt. 25c.; $1.00 per oz.
