Zinnia pumila. Spun Gold 
Perfectly formed, 3-inch flowers of the softest 
pastel shade of butter-yellow, made more enchanting 
by just the hint of an opalescent sheen over all. The 
plants are dwarf, branch freely and produce quan¬ 
tities of lovely flowers for cutting. Pkt. 35 cts. 
Zinnia^ Star Dust 
@ Award of Merit, 1937 All-America Selections. 
The flowers are a rich golden yellow, a coloring 
that is especially attractive either in the 
garden or when used as a cut-flower. It has the 
characteristic, informal, shaggy-petaled medium¬ 
sized flowers, on plants to 3 feet in height, with 
stems of good length for cutting. Since the flowers 
are only of medium size, they are easily handled 
and amenable to graceful arrangement either by 
themselves or in combination with other flowers. 
Pkt. 35 cts., 3 pkts. $1. 
Zinnia pumila Spun Gold 
Zinnia, Fantasy, White Light 
@ Honorable Mention, 1939 All-America Selec¬ 
tions. At last we are able to offer a pure white 
form of this lovely class. These Fantasy 
Zinnias, with their curled and crested petals, are a 
welcome change in the make-up of a Zinnia bloom. 
The bushy plants are feet tall, possibly a little 
more, and produce liberal quantities of these desir¬ 
able flowers all through the season. Splendid for 
cutting. Pkt. 35 cts. 
Zinnia, Fantasy, Wildfire 
We are pleased to offer a dazzling scarlet variety 
of the very popular strain of Fantasy Zinnias. This 
splendid addition to the other colors so far produced 
increases the use of these shaggy-petaled flowers. 
Wildfire blooms about six weeks after the seed is 
sown and is produced in quantities on 2}^ to 3-foot 
plants. See color illustration on page 35. Pkt. 35 cts. 
STRAWBERRY, DELIGHT 
A compact plant with attractive foliage which 
blooms in a few weeks after seed is planted and is

delicious flavor and fragrance of wild Strawberries. 
Flowers and berries appear continually until frost.
