Cut-and-Come-Again Zinnias 
Elegans Pumila Dwarf Double 
Very double but gracefully formed flowers of medium size, about 214 
inches across. Petals of heavy texture, slightly quilled center. Stems are 
15 inches long, stiff and strong. Plants thrifty, branching and bear an 
abundance of bloom from midsummer until frost. This is a most useful 
Zinnia, both in the garden for display in beds as a background to lower 
growing plants and for cut flowers for the house. The florist finds it the 
very best Zinnia for vases and baskets. , 
Crimson. Rich, vivid crimson flowers, many having a center or crown of 
quilled petals with golden yellow centers. 
Pinkie. A soft rose-pink that is not found in any other type of Zinnia. A 
splendid florist’s flower. 
Scarlet. Rich brilliant scarlet; vivid intense shade. The brightest spot of 
color in our garden last summer. 
Snowball. A good white is needed in every garden and in every bouquet 
ot flowers. 
Spun Gold. The very best butter-yellow Zinnia. One of the newer varieties 
that has become very popular. 
Sunrise. Salmon-rose, very beautifully formed flowers on thin, strong, wiry 
stems. The most popular of all Zinnias with the florist.
