Zinnia, Fantasy Mixed 
Zinnias will provide an abundance of Gorgeous Color from July until frost. Zinnias, the historical 
flowers of Old Mexico, have been favorites in every garden for as long as there have been horne gardens. 
In our grandmother’s day. Zinnias were gay and colorful but only the common type, small flowers and 
a few primary colors were to be had. Today, we have Zinnias of hugh size, of medium size and the 
tiny little baby types. Through years of scientific work and intense study, our growers have developed 
Zinnias that are almost beyond belief in size and beauty of color. We have classified on this and page 
33, the many types of Zinnias so that you may order the height and color particularly suited to the spot 
you wish to plant with these colorful flowers. CULTURE D OR E.

Plant of Zinnia Linearis 
Unusual Zinnias 
2300 LINEARIS. A Charming Little Zinnia 
from Australia. Unique and alluring with its 
pretty little single flowers of golden-orange, with 
a delicate lemon-yellow stripe through the center 
of each petal. It is extremely early blooming, 
commencing to flower when the plants are about 
6 inches tall and keeping right on through the 
season until the late frosts of autumn. It always 
looks neat, as the newly opened flowers prevent 
the faded ones from becoming prominent. The 
plants reach a height of 8 to 10 inches and with 
plenty of room for development, may have a 
spread of 2 feet by the end of the season. The 
flowers are produced in great profusion, literally 
hundreds being open at a time. Lineoris is valuable 
for border or edging use and is excellent for window 
boxes, or any place where a dwarf plant is desired. 
Will flower 6 weeks after seed is sown. Pkt. 15c;
