ZINNIA FANTASY MIXED. New chrysanthemum-like Zinnios of a smaller flowering and more 
graceful appearance than the popular giant flowered vcrieties. The rounded flowers are com- 
posed of a mass of shaggy ray-like petals which give a delicate and refined appearance to the 
medium sized double flowers. The color ranges from the brightest shades of reds and orange to 
the popular pastel pinks and beautiful creams. Seeds: Per pkt. 15c; 2 for 25c; Vg oz. 35c. 
SUPER FANTASY ZINNIA “DAVID BURPEE.” 4 ft. This is a distinct strain of giant flowers which 
is full of surprises. While giant flowers of the shaggy Fantasy type are most numerous, other 
forms are frequent; and colors include cream, chamois, buff, rose, burnt-orange, terra cotta, 
apricot and some two-toned. All are interesting, some exciting. Plants grow vigorously and 
flowers have long, wiry stems. Pkt. 15c. 
LUTHER BURBANK ZINNIAS are of the lovely, delicate pastel or art shades; the many self colors 
range from cream and primrose through delicate buff-yellow, canary-yellow, ivory, soft salmon, 
warm rose, chamois, apricot, peach, blush pink, salmon-pink to clear, bright rose with an 
occasional pale lavender. There are also unusual two and three-color combinations of soft 
and light shades in some blooms. Flowers grow 5 to 544 inches across and the petals curl 
back somewhat to form thick flower heads 2 to 3 inches deep. Plants are strong growing, 3 
to 4 feet tall, well-branched so that an abundance of long-stemmed flowers is assured for cut 
ting. Per pkt. 25c; ¥ oz. 50c.
