ZINNIAS 
FANTASY, ORANGE LADY. A new separate color in the Fantasy group. 
Orange Lady is a rich shade of deep bright orange. The medium-sized, 
234 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. See color 
illustration on second 
cover page. Pkt. 25c.; 
75c. per large pkt.;

FANTASY, ROSALIE. A worthy companion to Orange Lady. The color is 
a bright, intense rose, equally lovely in the garden or when cut. Plants are 
neat in habit, strong-growing, free-flowering, about 23/^ to 3 feet in height. 
The delicate, informal flowers, composed of a mass of shaggy, ray-like petals, 
are a contrast to the stiff, formal Zinnias to which we are accustomed.

is a very bright, pure canary-yellow, dazzling in its intensity. Sunburst is 
a very showy garden variety and is particularly effective for home decora¬ 
tion. Early flowering, blooming 40 to 45 days from the time of planting.

flowers which strongly resemble the double Gaillardia picta. The colors 
range through the mellow tones of rose, pink, bronze, yellow, orange, laven¬ 
der, and a combination of these colors. Most of the flowers, in fact, are two- 
toned, with a ring of deeper color toward the center. They are very attrac¬ 
tive, of medium size, about 2 inches in diameter, and make a splendid cut- 
flower. The plants grow about 2 feet tall and are very free flowering.
