2878 David Burpee Zinnias 
The flowers are of a form never before seen in zinnias; they 
may be likened to a large-flowered chrysanthemum, so at¬ 
tractively curled and quilled are the petals. They will grow 
up to 6 in. across and are unusually deep, with cutting stems 
averaging 18 in. in length. The quilled form of the flowers 
makes them exceptionally good keepers. 
.4nother outstanding feature of these zinnias is the unusual 
range of colors, many that have never been seen in zinnias 
before. Pastel shades predominate, such as apricot, soft 
cream, chamois, buff, terra-cotta, burnt orange, soft rose, 
and peach. Some flowers are of solid colors while others are 
delightful combinations of two and tliree colors. 
Some of the plants have leaves which are curiously curled 
and twisted; usually these produce flowers the petals of 
which are extremely quilled and curled. Most desirable for 
garden use and cutting. 3 ft. tall.
