FANTASY ZINNIA 
are of the easiest culture, thriv- 
ing in almost all conditions. 
Natives of Mexico, they are 
happiest in hot, dry conditions characteristic of 
their land of origin. 

For best results, provide a rich, deep soil and 
give water when needed. Giant types should be 
no closer than 18 inches apart. This allows free 
branching and sturdy plant development. 
Fantasy Zinnia flowers are very informal in 
appearance, composed of a mass of shaggy, ray- 
like petals, which give a delicate, graceful effect, 
quite different from the stiff, formal Zinnias to 
which we are accustomed. Plants grow from 
2% to 3 feet tall. Blossoms are from 2% to 3 
inches in diameter. Star Dust, lovely golden 
yellow; Mixed. Packet, 10c. 
Super Crown O’Gold Pastel Tints are the very 
finest large flowered Zinnia introduction in 
recent years. Strictly a mixture of pastel tints, a 
wide range of shades, including soft yellow, old 
gold, light pink, apricot pink, various shades of 
salmon, peach and buff, lively cerise salmon, as 
well as pure white and cream. The plants are 
strong and robust, growing about 3 feet tall, 
and flowers are borne profusely throughout the 
season. Packet, 25c. 
Dahlia Flowered are strong and robust, grow- 
ing about 3 feet tall and bear many long stems 
of showy, double, huge flowers. This type is 
preferred for general garden use, producing a 
very brilliant mass of color, in bright, intense 
shades. The flowers are more or less cup-shaped 
in appearance; the petals, instead of lying flat 
upon each other, are incurved, producing an 
upstanding, stiff, somewhat coarse flower. Flowers 
are from 4 to 5 inches in diameter. We offer the fol- 
lowing varieties: Exquisite, light rose; Golden State, 
golden yellow; Crimson Monarch, deep crimson; 
Dream, rosy lavender; Scarlet Flame; Oriole,

Mixed. Packet, 10c. 
California Giant Strain is, in some ways, a com- 
panion type to the Dahlia Flowered. The plants are, 
however, taller than the Dahlia Flowered, reaching a 
height of 3% to 4 feet, with longer, strong stems 
which are particularly adapted for use as a cut 
flower. We offer the following types: Cerise Queen; | 
Lavender Gem; Rose Queen; Violet Queen; Grena- 
dier, dark red; Golden Queen; Daffodil, canary 
yellow; Orange Scarlet Queen; Purity, white; En-

Lilliput or Pompon Zinnia is among the most pop- 
ular for cut flower and border use. The flowers are

inches in diameter, borne in great quantities on neat, 
compact growing plants which usually reach a height 
of from 12 to 15 inches. We offer the following vari- 
eties: Salmon Rose; Canary Yellow; Rosebud; 
Scarlet Gem; Crimson Gem; Golden Gem; Lilac

ingly different colors make them outstanding in

esting study in itself. Packet, 10c.

not generally known by most gardeners. This 
variety is excellent for border use and can be
