F ew g’arden annuals are more thoroughly satisfactory than zinnias, particularly since 
in recent years greatly improved larger flowering and more brilliantly colored strains 
have been developed. Por bedding, for borders and for cut flowers, they furnish a) 
wealth of blooms from early summer till late in the fall. Plant early in rows to 2 feet 
apart and cover about inch deep; or start indoors and transplant outside when the- 
ground is warm. Hardy annual. 
No. 1287. Navajo 
ered) —Each petal is 
heavily tipped white, cream white or yel¬ 
low, the bicolor effect reminding of the 
vivid colors of a Navajo rug. The colors 
run through lilac, lavender, russet, crim¬ 
son, orange, yellow and pink, and combi¬ 
nations of these colors. Bears quantities 
of medium sized double and semi-double 
blooms: iVz feet high. Pkt. 10c; oz. 40c; 
Yz oz. 70c. 
No. 1319. Zinnia Linearis — The most 
unusual and 
interesting of the newer zinnias. The flow¬ 
ers 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 blooms, turning 
to golden orange as the flower ages. 8 to 
10 inches tall and, if given plenty of room 
spread as much as 2 feet. The flowers are 
profusely borne, hundreds being open at 
a time. It is never untidy, as many newly 
opened flowers prevent the faded ones be¬ 
coming prominent. A grand and brilliant¬ 
ly colored bedding and border plant. 
Blooms in about six weeks. Pkt. iSc; 
^ oz. 50c. 
No 1299 Savov —The petals of the 
I'^O. oavoy double globular 
blooms turn upward at the sides, forming

quills like a quilled aster. The color is a 
singular mixture of red and yellow, 
deepening from golden yellow at the 
center to dark red at the margin. Pkt. 
10c; Y, oz. 3Sc; Yz oz. 60c.
