WILDFIRE . For description see Novelties, page 6. Trade pkt. 50c.;

ORANGE LADY. All-America Winner. A new separate color in 
the Fantasy group, Orange Lady is a rich shade of deep, bright 
orange. The medium-sized, to 3-inch flowers are shaggy and gay 
in appearance, making a vivid spot of color in the garden and 
extremely desirable for cutting. Of strong growing habits, there are 
flowers in 45 to 50 days after sowing. Trade pkt. 40c.; $2.00 per oz. 
ROSALIE. All-America Winner. A worthy companion to Orange 
Lady. The color is a bright, intense rose, equally lovely in the garden 
or when cut. The plants are neat in habit, strong growing, free flower¬ 
ing, about to 3 feet in height. Its delicate, informal flowers, com¬ 
posed of a mass of shaggy, ray-like petals, are a contrast to the stiff, 
formal Zinnias. Trade pkt. 40c.; $2.00 per oz. 
STAR DUST. Novelty. All-America Winner. This informal Star Dust 
Zinnia will be welcomed with enthusiasm. It has the same shaggy- 
petaled, medium-sized flowers as the mixture, but the color is a rich, 
deep golden yellow. Plants grow 234 to 3 feet high. Free flowering 
and an early bloomer. This variety will come true from seed. Trade 
pkt. 30c.; $1.25 per oz. 
MIXED COLORS (Dodger). Novelty. The rounded flowers are com¬ 
posed of a mass of shaggy, ray-like petals which give a delicate and 
refined appearance to the medium-sized, double flowers. The color- 
range includes the brightest of reds and oranges as well as the popular 
pastel pinks and creams. Trade pkt. 25c.; $1.00 per oz. 
Zinnia linearis 
A very unusual and interesting new type of Zinnia. The flowers are 
single, in a lovely shade of golden orange with a delicate lemon stripe 
through each petal. Plants are quite dwarf and extremely early flowering, 
commencing to bloom when the plants are 6 inches tall, and are continu¬ 
ally a mass of bloom until late fall. The plants grow 8 to 10 inches tall 
and spread as much as 2 feet. Trade pkt. 30c.; $1.50 per oz. 
Zinnia, New Gaillardia-Rowered • Novelty 
This is another of the newer type of Zinnias, the flowers of which 
strongly resemble the double Gaillardia picta. Plants grow to a height 
of 134 to 2 feet, are free flowering, and produce blooms in a color-range 
of many delightful combinations. Trade pkt. 25c.; $1.25 per oz. 
Scabious-flowered Zinnias 
CAMPFIRE. For description see Novelties, page 6. Trade pkt. 50c.;

flowers, 134 to 2 inches across, carried on strong stems of medium 
length. Plants are 2 to 234 fc^t in height, branching and free flowering.

sity. Sunburst is a very showy garden variety and is particularly 
effective for home decoration. Early flowering, blooming 40 to 45 days 
from the time of planting. Trade pkt. 40c.; $2.00 per oz. 
AUTUMN TINTS, MIXED. This new strain, which has been named 
Autumn Tints, is perfect in form of flower and comes true. The real 
beauty, however, is in the lovely coloring of the flowers, which range 
through all the gorgeous autumn tints and include orange, bronze, 
russet, dull red, carmine-red and intermediate shades. Fine for cut- 
flowers, having long stems and splendid keeping qualities. Trade 
pkt. 40c.; $2.00 per oz.
