Holmes’ NOVELTIES and SPECIALTIES 

Zinnia, Royal Purple 
ZINNIA, Crown O’ Gold 
2385. Pastel Mixture. The colors are not only dis- 
tinctly different, but very pretty. The light colors are 
overlaid with a deeper tone, giving the “two-tone” 
effect. No harsh colors, “pastel” shades. Flowers giant 
size, full double. Pkt., 15c; 14 oz., 35c; 14 0z., 65c. 
ZINNIA, Royal Purple 
2353. All-America Selections. New color in the Giant Dahlia-Flow- 
ered class, the flowers growing 5 inches across, and of a deep, rich, 
royal purple shade without any hint of blue. The heavy substance of 
the petals assures good lasting qualities, so the flowers are in high 
demand for cutting. Plants grow about 3 feet tall and are very free 
blooming. Pkt., 10c; 4 oz., 50c. 
MARIGOLD, Yellowstone 
1825. All-America Selections. Large, double, incurved Chrysanthe- 
mum-like, clear golden yellow flowers, 21/2 inches across, on 2-ft. 
vigorous growing plants from late summer until frost. For earliest 
blooms, we suggest that seed be started early indoors and the plants 
set in the garden when soil and weather have become warm. Lovely 
companion to Goldsmith. Pkt., 15c. 
SCABIOSA ZINNIA 
2395. Autumn Tints Mixed. Scabiosa-Flowered Zinnias are becoming 
increasingly popular. They make a good cut flower, graceful and easy 
to arrange. This strain has lovely color- 
ing of autumn foliage tints. Pkt., 15c; 
14 oz., 60c. 
FANTASY ZINNIA 
Chrysanthemum-Flowered—Finest 
Mixed 
2381. Fantasy is the most fascinating 
Zinnia introduction in many years. The 
ragged-appearing flowers are interesting 
and graceful and quite unlike the stiff, 
formal Zinnias of our grandmothers’ 
gardens. The flowers are of »medium 
size, composed of a mass of shaggy pet- 
als, large enough to give a splash of 
color, but also small enough for graceful

pinks and creams. This is an exquisite 
Zinnia. Pkt., 10c; 14 oz., 50c.
