Floradale Scarlet —Burnee’s New Zinnia for 1950 
PICTURED IN COLOR ON FRONT COVER 
2820 Floradale Scarlet is a vibrant scarlet-red zinnia with a new and unusually graceful flower form. The large 
blossoms, which grow from 5 to 5% in. across and about 3 in. deep, are made up of hundreds of strap shaped petals 
which are ruffled and fluffed just enough so that the sparkling and lively color of the upper surface is softened by 
the effect of the sunlight glancing off the small recurved portions of the petals. In all cases the petals are curved 
under, and in addition twist gaily to create a harmonious and refined informality which dispels all thought 
of the stiffness which has heretofore been associated with some types of zinnias. Yet the arrangement of the 
individual petals is loose enough to add grace and charm and still maintain the delightful form of the flowers. 
Plants grow into symmetrical, vigorous bushes about 2% to 3 ft. tall. Each has a huge central flower, as well 
as many large lateral blossoms, with long stems ideal for cutting. Perfect for mass plantings in the annual border, 
as bold accents in the perennial garden and blossoms so abundantly that there are plenty of flowers for bouquets.
