ASTER 
EARLY GIANT MIXED (rot illustrated) 
Since the first of this early, dwarf, giant ostrich-feather 
strain won its All America award in 1939 we have had 
requests for the mixture. Now we have new colors which, 
with Light Blue, Peach Blossom and Rose Marie enable us 
to offer a mixture this year for the first time. It is a superb 
MARIGOLD 
GLITTERS 
A new chrysanthemum-flowered African Marigold and a winner in the 
1951 All America Selections, Glitters is similar to, but much earlier than 
the well-known Mammoth Mum. The plants are a little dwarfer (2 /2’-3’) 
but quite erect, somewhat more freely flowering and thus perhaps a 
better garden subject. Although the same color (bright lemon yellow), 
Glitters is not a replacement for Mammoth Mum as the flowers are smaller 
and borne on shorter stems. We suggest its use where earliness, or 
profuse bloom rather than cutflowers are desired. A modern Dixie 
Sunshine.

TWO NEW ZINNIAS 
FLORADALE SCARLET 
A new and distinct Zinnia, very uniform and true to 
type and color, which represents the first distinct new 
variety to be introduced in several years. Flowers are deep 
scarlet, slightly smaller than Dahlia-flowered, with the 
fluffy but not twisted petals generally called cactus- 
flowered. Not an improved Fantasy, but definitely a Giant. 
Plants are 2’-212’ high, with regular Zinnia foliage. We 
recommend this as a worthwhile addition. 
2800 seeds/oz. Photos and electro (#1201E) available. 
Check with your supplier for possible new packet.

BURPEE HYBRIDS 
This is the Zinnia that received extensive publicity in 
the Saturday Evening Post, March 1951, and consequently 
can be expected to be in great demand. It is a widely 
varied mixture, generally of the cactus or chrysanthemum- 
flowered type described above, containing most of the 
usual Zinnia colors, as well as bicolors and delicate shades 
not occurring in blended mixtures. Regular Zinnia foliage. 
$2.50 per oz. $25.00 per lb. 
garden bedding subject and cutflower — the earliest of 
all the Giant Asters.
