A mixture of named California Giant Zinnias, all 
large, strong-growing and of brilliant color. These 
1337. Fantasy Mixed. H. A. Zinnias 
today are probably the most i)opular flower 
in the home garden and this new variety will 
be a welcome addition to the list. In late 
years the more graceful small flowered types 
have been the most popular. This New Fan¬ 
tasy Mixture meets this demand in all de¬ 
tails. The rounded floAvers are composed of 
a mass of shaggy, ray-like petals which give 
a delicate and refined at)pearance to the 
medium-sized double flowers. They are large 
enough to satisfy the desire for a mass of 
color yet small enough to lend themselves to 
graceful arrangement. The colors range from 
the brightest shades of red and orange to 
the popular pastel pinks and creams. Pkt.,

for fine bouquets for vases and bowls. The 
color range in our mixture is very attractive.
