McCullough’s Zinnias for every Purpose 
Few, if any, annuals have greater utility value than that of 
the Zinnia. Many distinct types have been developed, some 
bearing flowers of enormous size and others producing minia- 
ture double blooms in profusion. For early flowers sow seed 
indoors in March and transplant seedlings to the garden in 
early May, or, if preferred, sow seed in open ground in April. 
Space the large flowering and taller sorts from 1% to 2 feet 
apart; Pompon or Lilliput types 8 to 12 inches apart. 
Giant Dahlia-Flowered Zinnias 
The most outstanding of all Zinnias because of the wonder- 
ful range of rich colors. The flowers are immense, often mea- 
suring 5 to 6 inches across, and 3 to 4 inches in depth. They 
are borne profusely from late summer until frost. The bushes 
are 2% to 3 feet tall, of well-rounded form. 
717 CANARY BIRD. A delicate shade of primrose; very large 
and holds its color well until out of bloom. Pkt., 15c, 
718 CRIMSON MONARCH. By far the largest and best of the 
red shades. Flowers often eight inches in diameter. Plants 
very vigorous. A marvelous production of extraordinary 
merit. Pkt., 15c. 
719 DREAM. A fine, deep lavender, turning to purple (Mallow 
Purple), a new, desirable shade in Zinnias. Pkt., 15c. 
720 EXQUISITE. By far the most pleasing of our collection. 
Truly Dahlia-flowered as regards form and size. Color light 
rose with center a deep rose (Tyrian rose). Pkt., 15c.

Size and good form. Very attractive. Pkt., 15c.

shade of deep rose. Pkt., 15c.

darkest of all the red shades. Fine form, with good depth of 
petal. Very large and more floriferous than other reds. 
Pkt., 15c. 
726 OLD ROSE. This is adequately described by its name, as 
it is of the real old-rose shade; it is large and for charm 
and beauty we consider it ranks next to Exquisite. Pkt., 15c. 
727 ORIOLE. We consider this the most beautiful of its class. 
It is an immense orange and gold bicolor, changing slightly 
as it ages, but at all times worthy of the beautiful bird for 
which it is named. Pkt., 15c.
