Zinnia Dahlia-Flowered Type 

Zinnia, Fantasy Mixed 
Zinni 
Zinnias will provide an abundance of Gorgeous Color from July until frost. Zinnias, the historical 
flowers of Old Mexico, have been favorites in every garden for as long as there have been home gardens. 
In our grandmother’s day, Zinnias were gay and colorful but only the common type, small flowers and 
a few primary colors were to be had. Today, we have Zinnias of hugh size, of medium size and the 
tiny little baby types. Through years of scientific work and intense study, our growers have developed 
Zinnias that are almost beyond belief in size and beauty of color. We have classified on this and page 
31, the many types of Zinnias so that you may order the height and color particularly suited to the spot 
you wish to plant with these colorful flowers. CULTURE D OR E.

Templin-Bradley’s Little Jewel Zinnias

change over the usual stiff and formal type of

Their informal, shaggy appearance make them so 
graceful and interesting, especially for cutting. 
Their colors are the richest and most gorgeous ever 
seen in the Zinnia family. Flowers 2% to 3 inches 
across on plants 244 to 3 feet tall. This year we are 
able to offer you Fantasy Zinnias in five colors.
