Holmes’ NOVELTIES and SPECIALTIES 
NEW HOWARD GIANT CRESTED ZINNIA 
A Sensational Seed Novelty 
2400. This marvelous new strain of Zinnias has quality and beauty, 
being a cross between the small Scabiosa-flowered and those of the 
Giant Dahlia-flowered Zinnia. The blossoms average from 4 to 5 inches 
in diameter, with full rounded cushion center, surrounded by broad 
guard petals after the style of a pyrethrum. 



















Colors are magnificent shades of orange, scarlet, yellow and 
rose-maize. For cut flower purposes, the effect of this gorgeous 
new strain is breath-taking and catches the eye at once. You who 
are always looking for something new in annuals for garden 
ornamentation, will find these without an equal. Pkt., 15c. 
SCABIOSA ZINNIA 
2395 Autumn Tints Mixed. Scabiosa-Flowered Zinnias are be- 
coming increasingly popular. They make a good cut flower, 
graceful and easy to arrange. This strain has lovely coloring of 
autumn foliage tints. Pkt., 15c; 14 oz., 50c. 
FANTASY ZINNIA 
Chrysanthemum-Flowered—Finest 
Mixed 
2381. Fantasy is the most fascinating 
Zinnia introduction in many years. The 
ragged-appearing flowers are interest- 
ing and graceful and quite unlike the 
stiff, formal Zinnias of our grand- 
mothers’ gardens. The flowers are of 
medium size, composed of a mass of 
shaggy petals, large enough to give a 
splash of color, but also small enough 
for graceful arrangement in bouquets. 
The color ranges from the brightest 
shades of red, yellow, and orange to 
the soft pastel pinks and creams. This 
is an exquisite Zinnia. Pkt., 10c; %4 
oz., 50c.
