ZINNIA 
PEPPERMINT STICK MIXED 
One look at the picture tells you this is really new; 
UNLIKE ANY ZINNIA ON THE MARKET TODAY. Your 
customers can see it too, and a really different Zinnia 
is the one novelty you know will sell. We released 
Peppermint Stick experimentally late in 1951 with virtu- 
ally no publicity, and were snowed under with business. 
We wish to apologize to our many customers who 
ordered after we were sold out, but respectfully suggest 
that if you have not yet placed a 1951 contract order 
you do so now, as publicity for next Spring is being 
carefully prepared, and we anticipate a tremendous Cte yee, 
public demand. Peppermint Stick has a much wider : 
color range (red and white, red and yellow, pink and 
white, orange and yellow, purple and white) than its 
parents, Old Glory and The Clown. Plants somewhat 
taller than Pumila bear medium-sized Pumila-type 
4500 seeds/oz. Brand-new packets will 
be available from both Schmidt and 
Stecher-Traung. We have photos, and 
produces approximately 70% striped flowers. Don’t color plates (3057F). B OD G E R

flowers. One of the best cut-and-come-again Zinnias; 
blooms will be produced until frost if kept picked. An 
early strain, extensively reselected, Pepperment Stick 
CELOSIA 
GIANT PAMPAS PLUME 
Huge feathered plumes on vigorous, long stemmed plants are the 
trademark of this new giant strain of Celosia Plumosa for bedding 
and cutflower uses. It is a full mixture of colors containing bronze, 
copper, gold and sunset colors very rare in Celosia, especially the 
Plumosa type, with a minimum of the dark reds. Plume is huge and 
very dense, stretching out to a graceful point which has a silky 
sheen. This is one of the most sensational subjects for a summer 
border, as it thrives on hot weather and makes a riot of color. 
Easy to grow and requiring no attention other than irrigation, 
Pampas Plume is a reliable source of garden color as well as 
cutflowers, and has distinct market virtues. 
30,000 seeds/oz. Schmidt packet adequate. Photos and color 
plates (3058F) available, 
$1.30 per oz. $15.00 per Ib.
