THREE NEW GIANT ZINNIAS 
W8170 CACTUS FLOWERED HYBRIDS MIXED 
COLORS. 2500 seeds. Somewhat similar to the 
old Fantasy zinnias but with blooms up to 6” 
across. Petals are quilled, curled and frilled 
giving a shaggy appearance which is very 
attractive. Colors are, for the most part, pastel 
shades of orange, yellow, pink, lavender and 
rose. Plants tall and vigorous so should be 
given plenty of space. A good outdoor item 
for florists because the flowers are produced 
on long clean stems. 3’ 
Lg. Pkt. 30c; 1/8 Oz. 45c; 1/4 Oz. 75c; Oz. $2.50. 
W8174 RIVERSIDE BEAUTY. Described as a

a diameter of 5 inches and are 2” to 3” deep 
with attractively twisted and curled petals. 
As useful to the florist as large flowering 
dahlias but easier to handle and much earlier.

to 70% are striped. Colors are white, yellow, 
orange, pink, red and purple, the darker ones 
striped and mottled with white; the lighter 
with darker colors. Like the Pumila type they 
bloom freely from July until frost. Home gar-
