play and yet have stems long enough to make fine bouquets 
for small vases and bowls. The mixture contains many attrac¬ 
tive colors and color combinations. Finest Mixed.

Zinnia Linearis 
The most unusual and interesting of the newer Zinnias is 
the little dwarf variety, Linearis. The flowers, which are 
single, are a lovely shade of golden orange, with a delicate 
lemon yellow stripe through each petal, while the center is 
dark brown in the young flowers, turning golden orange as 
the pollen develops. It is extremely early blooming, com¬ 
mencing to flower when the plants are about 6 inches tall 
and keeping on right through the season until the late frosts 
of autumn. It never looks untidy, as the dozens of newly 
opened flowers prevent the faded ones from becoming promi¬ 
nent. The plants reach a height of 8 to 10 inches and with 
plenty of room for development may have a spread of as 
much as 2 feet by the end of the season. Pkt. 15c.

CALIFORNIA GIANT. Our special strain of this favorite 
produces flowers of colossal size, specimens measuring from 
5 to 6 inches across being not unusual. The plants are of ex¬ 
tremely robust habit, attaining a height of about 3 feet, and 
should be spaced 18 to 24 inches apart to allow for full devel¬ 
opment. They bear numerous semi-globular, mostly very 
double flowers all of the largest size, making them of great 
value in large beds, borders, etc. Grown under favorable con¬ 
ditions they remain in bloom from early summer to late 
autumn. Their long stems make them ideal for cutting.

nias. The flowers are large, double and well formed, on good 
cutting stems, generously produced on plants which reach a 
height of 2% to 3 feet. It is a good garden variety but its

the base with a deeper golden yellow.
