Zinnias for Every Purpose 
Pew, if any, annuals have greater utility value than that of 
the Zinnia. Many distinct types have been developed, some 
bearing flowers of enormous size and others producing minia¬ 
ture double blooms in profusion. For early flowers sow seed 
indoors in March and transplant seedlings to the garden in 
early May, or, if preferred, sow seed in open ground in April. 
Space the large flowering and taller sorts from 1% to 2 feet 
apart; Pompon or Lilliput types 8 to 12 inches apart. 
Giant Dahlia-Flowered Zinnias 
The most outstanding of all Zinnias because of the wonder¬ 
ful range of rich colors. The flowers are immense, often mea¬ 
suring 5 to 6 inches across, and 3 to 4 inches in depth. They 
are borne profusely from late summer until frost. The bushes 
are 2% to 3 feet tall, of well-rounded form. 
823 CANARY BIRD. A delicate shade of primrose; very large 
and holds its color well until out of bloom. Pkt., 15c. 
824 CRIMSON MONARCH. By far the largest and best of the 
red shades. Flowers often eight inches in diameter. Plants 
very vigorous. A marvelous production of extraordinary 
merit. Fkt., 15tC. 
825 DREAM. A fine, deep lavender, turning to purple (Mallow 
Purple), a new, desirable shade in Zinnias. Fkt., 15c. 
826 EXQUISITE. By far the most pleasing of our collection. 
Truly Dahlia flowered as regards form and size. Color, light 
rose with center a deep rose (Tyrian rose). Fkt., 15c. 
827 GOLDEN DAWN. A beautiful golden yellow of immense 
size and good form. Very attractive. Fkt., 15a 
828 GODDEN STATE. A very rich orange-yellow (cadmium). 
Yellow in the bud, turning to an attractive orange when in 
full bloom. Pkt., 15c. 
829 IIiIiUMINATION. Similar to Exquisite, but a striking 
shade of deep rose. Fkt., 15c. 
830 DEMON BEAUTY. This is next to Crimson Monarch in 
size and form. It may be described as a golden-yellow on 
brown. Decidedly a pastel shade and should be in every col¬ 
lection. Fkt., 15c. 
831 METEOR. A rich, glowing deep red (spinel red) and the 
darkest of all the red shades. Fine form, with good depth of 
petal. Very large and more floriferous than other reds. 
Fkt., 15c. 
832 ODD ROSE. This is adequately described by its name, as 
it is of the real old-rose shade; it is large and for charm 
and beauty we consider it ranks next to Exquisite. Fkt., 15c. 
833 ORIODE. We consider this the most beautiful of its class. 
It is an immense orange and gold bicolor, changing slightly 
as it ages, but at all times worthy of the beautiful bird for 
which it is named. Fkt., 15c. 
834 PODAR BEAR. A very large pure white; the best white 
yet seen in Zinnias. True Dahlia form. Pkt., 15c.

ple, large and well-formed. Fkt., 15c.

not a bicolor. Fkt., 15c.

good shipper, having better lasting qualities than any other 
variety offered. Fkt., 15c.
