Fantasy Chrysanthemum-Flowered Zinnia 
Chrysanthemum 
Fantasy Zinnia Flowered 
Our improved strain of Fantasy is’ the most fascinating Zinnia 
ever introduced. The very informal, shaggy appearing flowers are 
graceful and interesting, quite distinct from the stiff, formal 
Zinnias to which we are accustomed. The rounded medium sized 
flowers are composed of a mass of shaggy ray-like petals which 
give a delicate and refined appearance; large enough to satisfy 
the desire for mass of color, yet-small*enough to lend themselves 
gracefully to flower arrangement. “The color range includes the 
brightest shades of reds, yellow and orange, as well as the popular 
pastel pinks and cream. Pkt., 10¢; 14 oz., 35c; % oz., 60c.

TITHONIA Giant Fireball 
Dazzling as a ball of 
fire poised high above 
other flowers, Fireball 
is, undoubtedly, the last 
color in a fall blooming 
plant. Many who have 
known Tithonia Speciosa 
have considered it the 
brightest possible flower 
for fall use. With the 
introduction, however, of 
Fireball, this older va- 
riety is entirely over- 
shadowed. Fireball is a 
very brilliant shade of 
scarlet orange, the 
petals in dazzling contrast to the clear yellow 
center. Flowers 4% to 5 inches in diameter, on 
fine long stems. Plants often reach a height of 
8 or 9 feet and neat in appearance. Extremely 
showy in the garden and an excellent cut flower, 
keeping 5 or 6 days when cut. - Pkt., 5c; %
