Fantasy Chrysanthemum-Flowered Zinnia 
Fantasy Zinnia 
Chrysanthemum 
Flowered 
Our improved strain of Fantasy is the most fascinating Zinnia 
ever introduced.- The very informal, shaggy appearing flowers are 
graceful and interesting, quite distinct from the stiff, formal 
Zinnias to which we are accustomed. The rounded medium sized 
flowers are composed of a mass of shaggy ray-like petals which 
give a delicate and refined appearance, large enough to satisfy 
the desire for mass of color, yet small enough to lend themselves 
gracefully to flower arrangement. The color range includes the 
brightest shades of reds, yellow and orange, as well as the popular 
pastel pinks and cream. I’kt., lOc; oz., 35c; y^ oz., 60c. 
Scabiosa-Flowered Zinnia 
A most charming cut-flower variety. Flowers 2% to 3 inches 
across, composed of a row of broad outer petals, surrounding a 
deep, full, cushion-like crown of quill-like petals similar in form 
to the annual Scabiosa. Mixture of many exquisite shades and 
colors. I’kt., lOc; % oz., 35c; oz., 60c. 
Dahlia-Flowered 
Giant Zinnia 
This type bears flowers of mammoth 
size and in form like a perfect Decora¬ 
tive Dahlia. The plant is a strong 
grower and flow'er stems are long and 
stiff. This remarkable variety includes 
a complete range of delicate, bright 
and rich colors from white, yellow,

Giants of California 
The largest of all Zinnias. Magnificent double flowers, 
5 to 6 inches aero.ss. The many overlapping petals are 
more loosely placed than in the other large-flowered varie¬ 
ties. The well-branclied, sturdy plants grow 3 feet tall, 
with long, strong stems. Our seed of this variety is put 
up in a mixture of colors that will make a most colorful

Zinnia Linearis 
This dwarf zinnia is one of the most unusual of recent 
introductions. Starts blooming in six to eight weeks 
after seed is sown and continues until late fall fro.sts.

dreds being open at a time. Flowers 114 inches in diam¬ 
eter, golden orange with delicate lemon-yellow stripe 
through each petal. Plants make little, compact mounds 
8 to 10 inches tall and from 1 to 2 feet through. Ex¬

Tithonia Giant Fireball 
Dazzling as a ball of fire poised high above 
other flowers. Fireball is, undoubtedly, the 
last word in brilliance of color in a fall bloom¬ 
ing plant. Many who have known Tithonia 
Speciosa have considered it the brightest pos¬ 
sible flower for fall use. With the introduc¬ 
tion, however, of Fireball, this older variety 
is entirely overshadowed. Fireball is a very 
brilliant shade of scarlet orange, the petals in 
dazzling contrast to the clear yellow center. 
Flowers 4i^ to 5 inches in diameter, on fine 
long stems. Plants often reach a height of 
8 or 9 feet and neat in appearance. Extremely 
showy in the garden and an excellent cut 
flower, keeping 5 or 6 days when cut. Pkt., 
15c; 1/4 oz., 40c.
