HOWARD'S GIANT CRESTED ZINNIA 
It is a pleasure to cooperate with the firm of Howard & Smith Inc. in the in- 
troduction of their new Giant Crested Zinnia Novelty. Following is the origina- 
tors description of this unusually fine Zinnia: 
“lis colors are charmingly bright and fresh, and contain almost all known 
colors and shades of color to be found in this most popular of annual plants. 
Magnificent shades of orange, orange scarlet, yellow, rose, maize and crimson 
predominate. The blossoms average from 4 to 5 inches in diameter, with a full 
rounded cushiony center surrounded by broad guard petals after the style of 
a Pyrethrum Roseum. As a cut flower, or as an annual for garden ornamenta- 
tion, they are without peer.” 
MARIGOLD AFRICAN GOLDEN GLOW 
“ODORLESS FOLIAGE” 
HONORABLE MENTION ALL-AMERICA (aS) SELECTIONS — 1939 
Golden Glow is a bright golden-yellow color and produces 22 inch flowers 
on 26 inch plants. The blooms are full double and consist of hundreds of long 
tapering petals. Golden Glow is an excellent cut flower as it throws heavy 
branches with clusters of six and eight flowers on each. People objecting to the 
usual strong Marigold odor, will be very pleased with this new odorless 
novelty.
