Flowers! 
Here’s beauty no one can deny his 
home . . . not anywhere in Texas, any- 
how, where Zinnias, somehow, seem to 
do better than any place else in the 
world ... and that goes for Mexico, too 
... from which the original strains came. 
Staffel’s Zinnias are particularly valuable 
for massing, excellent for edging and 
can’t be beat for cutting! Especially rich 
in shades of rose and orange, chockfull 
of vivid yellows and dainty, dreamy la- 
venders, our Zinnia assortment is really 
everything your heart can want in the 
way of beauty ... beauty that becomes 
full-blown and more desirable with a gay, 
tropical loveliness during the hot sum- 
mer months when many flowers refuse 
to give.
