Burpee’s Famous ZINNIAS 
_ The value of zinnias as garden and cut flowers cannot be stressed too highly. Their ease of culture, long bloom- 
ing season, together with their wide range of color and varied flower forms, make them one of the most popular 
of all annual flowers. They last for days when cut; we offer a selection of different size flowers and colors for every 
_ purpose. All the different types are easy to grow. Plant in fuil sun; they will not do well in the shade or near trees. 
Zinnias are hot weather flowers, coming into their full beauty in midsummer and continuing to bloom until fall. 
These Zinnias are outstanding both for the exquisite form of their 
long-stemmed flowers, which resemble Giant Dahlias, and for the 
pastel shades included in their range of color. The individual blooms 
grow about 5 in. across and 2 in. or more in depth. The well-branched 
sturdy plants grow 3 ft. high. Showy in the garden; wonderful for 
cutting as flowers have remarkable keeping qualities.

David Burpee Zinnias 
CHRYSANTHEMUM FLOWERED 
” 29378 Choicest Mixed David Burpee Zinnias are strikingly 
different; very large, with petals so attractively curled and quilled 
that the flowers may be likened to large-flowered chrysanthemums. 
Another outstanding feature of these zinnias is the unusual range 
of colors, many that have never before been seen in zinnias. Pastel 
shades predominate, with tones of apricot, soft cream, chamois, 
buff, terra-cotta, burnt orange, soft rose, and peach. Some flowers 
are of solid colors while others are combinations of two and three 
colors. Most desirable for garden use and unsurpassed for cutting. 
Plants grow 3 ft. tall; leaves of some are curled and twisted. 
Pkt. 25¢; \% oz. 50¢; 14 oz. 85¢.
