Fantasy Chrysanthemum-Flowered Zinnia 
Chrysanthemum 
Fantasy Zinnia "yous 
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 red, yellow and orange, as well as the popular 
pastel pinks and cream. Pkt., 10c; 4 0Z., 35c; % oz., 60c. 
Giant Crested Howard Zinnia 
A marvelous strain of Zinnias, the result of crosses between the 
Scabiosa-flowered class and those of the Giant Dahlia-Flowered. 
The blossoms average 4 to 5 inches in diameter, with a full 
rounded cushiony center surrounded by broad guard petals. 
The colors included in the strain are charmingly bright and 
fresh, and contain almost all known colors and shades of colors 
to be found in this most popular of annual plants. Magnificent 
shades of orange, orange-scarlet, yellow, rose, maize and crimson 
predominate. 
As a cut flower, or as an annual for garden ornamentation, they 
are without peer. For cut flower purposes, the effect of a bouquet 
of this gorgeous new strain is breathtaking and catches the eye 
at once.

Dazzling as a ball of 
fire poised high above 
other flowers, Fireball 
is, undoubtedly, the last 
word in brilliance of 
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
