ZINNIA DAHLIA FLOWERED “ROYAL PURPLE.” (Honorable Mention A. A. S. 1941.) The deep 
rich reddish-purple tones of “Royal Purple” Zinnia are a charming reminder of the soft velvet 
of regal robes. This brand-new shade in the Dahlia Flowered class is well named. The 
extra-large double blooms are about 4 in. in diameter and of excellent form. 
ZINNIA HOWARD'S NEW GIANT CRESTED MIXED. This new Zinnia is the result of direct recip- 
rocal crosses between the small-flowered Scabiosa flowered class and the Giant Dahlia flow- 
ered type. Blooms average from 4-5 in. in diameter, with a full rounded cushiony center sur- 
rounded by broad guard petals after the style of a Pyrethrum Roseum. The strain contains 
almost all known colors and shades of color to be found in Zinnias, magnificent shades of 
orange, orange-scarlet, yellow, rose, maize and crimson predominate. 
ZINNIA LILLIPUT “PASTEL M'XTURE.” In this mixture are incorporated the very lovely shades of 
apricot, peach, creamy-yellow, shell-pink, delicate salmon, light rose and orchid which are 
prime favorites with florists, cutflower growers and those who grow and arrange flowers for 
the home. Particularly fine for cutting fcr bouquets in the home. Plants are 12-18 in. high, 
neat in habit, compact growing and very free blooming, producing flowers about 45 days 
after seed is sown. No garden is complete without a plot of these ‘Pastel Lilliput Zinnias.”
