SCABIOSA IMPERIAL GIANTS 
"Blue Moon" 
Honorable Mention, All-America Council 
The flower form of this new Scabicsa 
is as different from the existent Scabiosa 
varieties as Dahlia Flowered Zinnia dif¬ 
fers from the old Zinnia types. This new 
type has flowers composed entirely 
of broad, heavy, wavy petals, eliminat¬ 
ing the pincushion center entirely. In 
other words, the flower is literally fully 
double. Blue Moon is an ideal cutting 
type, because of the stem length, fully 
27" even when field grown, and espe¬ 
cially because the large beautifully 
shaped flowers are a luscious sh~d' of 
deep lavender blue so hard to find in 
annual flowers.

decorative garden plant.

ZINNIA SUPER CROWN 
O'GOLD 
"PASTEL TINTS" (Bodger) 
"Pastel Tints" contains a wide range 
of pastel shades, including soft yellow, 
old gold, light pink, apricot pink, vari¬ 
ous shades of salmon, peach and buff, 
as well as pure white and cream. 
Flowers are of the Crown o’Gold type, 
each petal of the flower is overlaid at 
the base with deep golden yellow, while 
carrying out the individual flower color 
at the tip. For cutting it is unexcelled 
and for garden use it is very hard to 
surpass. The plants are strong, grow¬ 
ing about 3 feet tall, and flowers are 
borne profusely throughout the season, 
first appearing about 60 days after seed 
is sown.
