HOWARD'S NEW GIANT 
CRESTED 

ZINNIA, HAAGEANA 

ZINNIA, CALIFORNIA GIANT 
CALIFORNIA GIANT. Our special strain of this favorite 
produces flowers of colossal size, specimens measuring from 
da to 6 inches across being not unusual. The plants are of 
extremely robust habit, attaining a height of about 3 feet, 
and should be placed 18 to 24 inches apart to allow for full 
development. They bear numerous semi-globular, mostly very 
double flowers all of the largest size, making them of great 
value in large beds, borders, etc. Grown under favorable con- 
ditions they remain in bloom from early summer to late au 
tumn. Their long stems make them ideal for cutting.

CROWN O’ GOLD. Desert Gold is an aristrocrat among Zin- 
nias. The flowers are large, double and well formed, on good 
cutting stems, generously produced on plants which reach a 
height of 2% to 38 feet. It is a good garden variety but its 
main claim to individuality and distinction is the delightful 
color combination of the flowers. The variety comprises the 
light and deep shades of gold while each petal is overlaid at 
the base with a deeper golden yellow. Pastel Shades. 
HOWARD’S GIANT CRESTED ZINNIA. Its colors are 
charmingly bright and fresh, and contain almost all known 
colors and shades of color to be found in this most popular of 
annual plants. Magnificent shades of orange, orange scarlet, 
yellow, rose, maize and crimson predominate. The blossoms 
average from 4 to 5 inches in diameter, with a full rounded 
cushiony center surrounded by broad guard petals after the 
style of a Pyrethrum Roseum. As a cut flower, or as an an- 
nual for garden ornamentation, they are without a peer. 
Mixed. Pkt. 25c. 
SCABIOUS FLOWERED. Among the oddest and most attrac- 
tive Zinnia forms, bearing a remarkable resemblance to the 
annual Scabiosa. The plants are extremely free flowering, 2 to 
2% feet high, giving a wealth of bloom throughout the sum- 
mer. While the color range includes all popular shades, it is 
particularly rich in shades of crimson, scarlet, orange, yellow 
and pink. Mixed Colors. 
Fantasy 
The most distinctive new Zinnia. As different from the 
ordinary formal Zinnia as one could imagine, the delicate, 
lacy petaled flowers lend an air of friendly informality to 
the garden or flower arrangement. The rounded, medium-sized 
shaggy flowers are borne profusely on 2% to 3-foot plants, in 
a wide and varied color range which includes the brightest 
shades of red, yellow and orange, as well as the popular pastel 
pinks and cream.
