THE BEST NEW FLOWERS FOR 1942 
HELP SUSTAIN MORALE — GROW MORE FLOWERS 

Owing to a short crop of HOWARD’S 
GIANT CRESTED ZINNIA seed last year 
we were unable to fill many orders, result- 
ing in disappointment to a host of our 
friends. 
This season we expect to fill all orders 
since we have contracted for enough seed 
to go around. 
This outstanding Zinnia is illustrated 
on page 4 and reproduced from an orig- 
inal color photograph on front cover. 
All of the new and recent introductions 
on pages 3 and 4 are worthy of a trial. 
We heartily recommend them.
