Holmes’ NOVELTIES andSPECIALTIES 
- 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; 14 0z., 50c. 
MARIGOLD, Yellowstone 
1825. All-America Selections. Large, double, incurved Chrysanthe- 
mum_vlike, clear golden yellow flowers, 21% 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. 
ZINNIA, Crown O’ Gold 
2385. Pastel Mixture. The colors are not only distinctly 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; 144 0z., 35c; 14 0z., 65c. 
SALPIGLOSSIS - Golden Veined 
2110. Large-Flowered Mixed. Large improved strain. One of the 
easiest annuals to grow, is prized in the garden wherever grown. It is 
rich in deep color tones with veins of gold marking every petal. Sow in 
full sun in fairly rich soil. Do not over-water. Will bloom until frost. 
30 inches. Pkt., 10c; 14 oz., 50c; oz., $1.45. 
MARIGOLD, Flash 
(New Single French) 
All-America Award 
1821. Earliest of all Marigolds—blooms in 8 weeks from seed, con- 
tinues through the season until frost. Never have we seen a Marigold so 
uniform in habit nor one which blooms so profusely as Flash. The com- 
bination of colors range from vivid red through bronze. Many of the 
flowers are tangerine at the base which is underlaid with rich red, giving 
it a harmonious effect. The individual flower of Flash grows 134 in. or 
more across and 18 in. tall. Pkt., 25c.

this crested type Coxcomb are almost globular, and the 
dominant color is a golden maple, with some flowers 
varying toward rose or pink. The plants grow to 3 feet 
and bear 8 to 12 heads, which can be increased if the 
center stem is pinched back. Do not feed the plants.
