Sensational New Zinnias 
We list the best of all the various types of Zinnias which have been developed. 
Deservedly popular are the new Zinnias, Crown O' Gold, Fantasy and the lovely 
little Linearis. Now we offer another new strain, 
a Howard's Giant Crested, the result of many years’ 
Z selection work by the well known hybridist Fred 



















H. Howard of Montebello, California. 
Howard's 
Giant Crested 
Illustrated in color on front 
inside cover. 
This new strain was_ pro- 
duced by crossing the Dahlia 
Flowered and the Scabiosa 
Flowered types. The blooms 
average from 4 to 5 inches in 
diameter, with a full rounded 
cushion center surrounded by 
broad guard petals. The colors 
are bright and fresh and come 
in shades of rose, maize, yel- 
low, orange and crimson. They 
are unequalled for cut flower 
purposes, and the effect of a 
bouquet of this gorgeous new 
type is breath-taking. Howard’s New Giant Crested Zinnia.
