which are prime favorites as cut-flow¬ 
ers. The plants are 12 to 15 inches

Zinnia, Fantasy, White Light 
Zinnia, Scabious-flowered 
ZINNIA, Fantasy 
Informal, shaggy, graceful, and interesting, 
it is distinct from the stiff, formal Zinnia to 
which we are accustomed. The color-range 
includes the brightest shades of red, yellow, 
and orange, as well as the popular pastel 
pinks and cream. The rounded, medium¬ 
sized flowers lend themselves gracefully to 
flower arrangement.

ZINNIA linearis 
The single flowers are deep golden orange 
in color, with a delicate light yellow stripe 
which contrasts boldly with the dark center. 
Plants reach a height of 8 to 10 inches with 
a spread of as much as 2 feet and are a solid 
mass of color for several weeks. One of the 
finest novelties. Pkt. 15 cts.; large pkt. 40 cts. 
ZINNIA 
Gaillardia-flowered 
NAVAJO 
Flowers are of medium size, double and 
semi-double. The outer one-third of each 
petal is heavily tipped white, creamy white, 
or creamy yellow, or a lighter color than the 
center of the flower. The vivid colorings 
remind one of those seen in a Navajo rug. 
Plants are about 2 feet tall and very free 
flowering. Pkt. 15 cts.; large pkt. 40 cts. 
ZINNIA, Cupid 
The smallest of all the Zinnias. Compact, 
well-formed plants 1 foot tall. Each of the 
numerous upright stems bears a miniature, 
button-like flower which hardly exceeds 1 
inch in diameter. Cupid Zinnias are espe¬ 
cially adapted for borders, bedding, and the 
rock-garden; also ideal as a miniature cut- 
flower.

Snowdrop. Pure white. Mixed.
