BLAZE siento 
2824 Blaze is a new color in 
Burpee Hybrids—the most dis- 
tinctive and the most fascinat- 
ing of all zinnias. So outstand- 
ing was Blaze in the All- 
America Selections, the judges 
voted it the winner and the 
only flower to receive an award 
for 1954. It is outstanding. 
Blaze bursts into bloom with 
a profusion of brilliant manda- 
rin-red flowers and, as the flow- 
ers attain size, change to an _ #7 
exciting fiery orange-scarlet—a 
color that will brighten any 
spot in your garden or home. 
Garden writers, seedsmen 
and others who have seen Blaze 
zinnia praise it highly; and the 
amazing thing is that for all its 
size and vivid color, it retains 
the grace, delicacy and infor- 
mality associated with Burpee’s 
Giant Hybrids. It is a “must” 
for your garden. 
The brilliant, rare coloring of 
flaming red and orange radiates 
from the informal, fluffy, quilled 
petaled, double flowers that 
grow 5 in. across. Good cutting stems make Blaze 
zinnia highly desirable for cutting and exhibition. 
Plants are strong growing, very uniform, and 
sure to attract attention wherever they are grown.

BURPEE’S GIANT HYBRID ZINNIAS 
Highly commended by the Royal Horticultural So- 
ciety of Great Britain. The loveliest new flowers ever 
created. They include both first and second generation 
hybrids, w 5 in. and more across, with a pleasing 
variation in petal formation, the majority being of the 
informal flufty or ruffled type, some attractively curled, 
others gracefully quilled. The feathery, loosely ar- 
ranged petals give the flowers an airy appearance, free 
of the stiffness often associated with other zinnias. 
Their glistening beauty, stem length and keeping 
quality make them one of the most popular of all cut 
flowers. Plants are strong growing, free blooming, 214 
to 3 ft. tall and ideal for garden decoration.
