Fantasy Zinnia 
Fantasy Zinnias 
Ever since introduced a few years 
ago. Fantasy Zinnias have been 
great favorites with those who like 
something out of the ordinary and 
unusual. The well-rounded, medium 
sized double flowers, 3 to 3K in. 
across, are composed of a mass of 
twisted, tubular petals which give 
them the appearance of a shaggy 
chrysanthemum. Plants grow about 
2 ft. tall and are very profuse bloom¬ 
ing throughout the summer and 
fall. Fantasy Zinnia, Mixed Colors, 
and Star Dust (yellow Fantasy) 
each won an Award of Merit in the 
All-America Selections. 
2918 Star Dust Deep golden 
yellow flowers of the true Fantasy 
type—remind one of a miniature 
cactus dahlia. They are admirable 
for cutting; showy and effective in 
the garden. Very free blooming.

those of the double-crested cosmos. The 
flowers are of medium size, 2K to 3 in. 
across, composed of a row of broad ray 
or outer petals, surrounding a cushion¬ 
like crown or mound of quill-like petals

variations may appear. Fine border 
plants; nice for cutting.
