BURPEE HYBRIDS 
This new, extra large-flowered Zinnia yielded blooms which were 
unquestionably the largest, and to some observers the most at- 
tractive, in our Zinnia trials last summer. A very worth-while 
offering. 
Florists’ Bcuntae 
(2500 to 4000 seeds per oz.)

MISCELLANEOUS VARIETIES 
@ Peppermint Stick. See photo above, left. Peppermint Stick is a 
significant improvement over previous strains of striped-petaled 
Zinnias (which have been largely rejected because of small flower 
size or low percentage of striped blooms). It produced at least 
60% striped plants in our trials last year. The striated petals 
give a very pleasing and unusual effect. Medium sized flowers 
with many combinations of red, white, yellow, pink, orange and 
purple shades. Especially nice for floral arrangements. Tr. pkt., 
BDC; 74 07,075; loz, $2.25- 04 ozs., $7.00. 
@ Persian Carpet Wiummaasamov7 (New). See photo above. A 
greatly improved Haageana type Zinnia with well-rounded form 
and over-all height of about 12 inches. Very floriferous, with all 
the natural assets of Zinnias—easy to grow, heat-loving, and 
colorful. Tr. pkt., 50e; %4 oz., $1.50; 1 oz., $4.50. 
Gracillima (Red Riding Hood). Freely produces large numbers 
of small, bright crimson flowers. Fine for bedding. 
Scabious-Flowered. Fairly tall with some cut-flower value. An 
Anemone-flowered type with crested center. 
Prices above 2 varieties, each: tr. pkt., 25¢; 4 oz., 50¢; 1 oz., 
$1.50.
