ZINNIA, DAHLIA FLOWERED 
Zinnias 
Giant Dahlia-Flowered Zinnias 
These Zinnias are so superior to the varieties 
usually offered that they beggar description. 
The flowers are unusually large, being from 
4to7 inches in diameter when grown under 
proper conditions with good fertilizer and 
sufficient moisture. Many of the flowers re- 
semble immense dahlias with their tong, stout 
stems that make them unsurpassed as cut 
flowers. We offer this strain in seven distinct 
colors and a mixture: 
CRIMSON MONARCH. Rich crimson, largest 
and best red shade. 
DREAM. A fine deep rosy lavender. 
EXQUISITE. Light rose with center a deep 
rose. 
CANARY BIRD. Rich canary yellow. 
ORIOLE. Immense orange and gold bi-color. 
POLAR BEAR. A large pure white. The best 
white. 
PURPLE PRINCE. Very deep purple. 
MIXED. All the above colors and others not 
listed.

CROWN O’ GOLD PASTEL TINTS. The fin- 
est large flowered Zinnia introduction since 
the original Dahlia Flowered. The flowers are 
large and showy, five to five and one-half 
inches in diameter. Strictly a pastel mixture, 
it contains a wide range of pastel shades. 
All of the flowers carry the characteristic 
Crown o’ Gold markings, that is each petal of 
the flower is overlaid at the base with deep 
golden yellow, while carrying out the indi- 
vidual flower color at the tip. Plants grow 
about 3 feet tall, and flowers are borne pro- 
etd throughout the season. Per Pkt. each

GIANTS OF CALIFORNIA. A mutation from 
the Giant Dahlia Flowered Zinnia that is truly 
enormous in size. The blossom is flatter than 
the Dahlia Flowered type and the stem is not 
so stiff, which gives it a much more grace- 
ful appearance. Our mixture contains a wide 
range of colors. Per Pkt. 10c. 
FANTASY FINEST MIXED. This new Fan- 
tasy Mixture with rounded flowers of shaggy 
ray-like petals is an outstanding Zinnia nov- 
elty. The plants are 2 to 3 feet high and bear- 
ing many blooms throughout the summer. 
The color range includes the brightest shades 
of red and orange as well as the popular 
pastel shades, pink and cream. Per Pkt. 10c. 
NEW CRESTED HOWARD'S GIANT. A 
cross between the Giant Dahlia Flowered and 
Seabiosa Flowered which combines the size 
of first with the form of the second. The 
erested centers are surrounded by several 
rows of guard petals presenting a pleasing 
variation from the usual Zinnia. All the usual 
Zinnia colors—orange, scarlet, yellow, rose, 
maize and crimson are included. A bouquet 
of these giant flowers is breath taking in its 
beauty. Howard’s Crested Zinnias are a real 
novelty. Price per Pkt. 25c.
