Fantasy Chrysanthemum-Flowered Zinnia 
■b . mm a m Chrysanthemum 
Fantasy Zinnia 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. Pkt., 10c; % oz., 35c; Vz oz., 60c. 
Giant Crested Howard Zinnia 
A marvelous strain of Zinnias, the result of crosses between 
the Scabiosa-flowered class and those of the Giant Dahlia-Flowered. 
The blossoms average 4 to 5 inches in diameter, with a full rounded 
cushiony center surrounded by broad guard petals. 
The colors included in the strain are charmingly bright and 
fresh, and contain almost all known colors and shades of colors 
to be found in this most popular of annual plants. Magnificent 
shades of orange, orange-scarlet, yellow, rose, maize and crimson 
predominate. 
As a cut flower, or as an annual for garden ornamentation, they 
are without peer. For cut flower purposes, the effect of a bouquet 
of this gorgeous new strain is breathtaking and catches the eye 
at once.

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 4% 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
