ZINNIA Lucky Strike

“FAR SUPERIOR TO ANY 
ZINNIA EVER GROWN”, 
Say Leading Park Superintendents 
from Coast to Coast. Just read a 
few of the written comments: 
Far superior to other Zinnias we have 
grown. Unusually large flowering. The 
range of colors was outstanding. 
George A. Mallett, 
Supt. of Parks, Bridgeport, Conn. 
I believe them to be much superior. 
The colors are better than any strain I 
have seen. 
Russell Kelley, 
Supt. of Parks, Jacksonville, Illinois. 
Best we have had for color. Outstand- 
ing color variations. 
O. A. Ziegler, 
Board of Park Commissioners, 
Tulsa, Oklahoma. 
Lucky Strike Zinnias were larger than 
any we have had previously. The thing 
that impressed me most in these Zinnias 
was the extremely clear colors. 
E. W. Tabaka, 
Supt. of Parks., Saginaw, Mich. 
Much larger and showier. Very much 
impressed by the new pastel colors and 
bicolor flowers. So was the public. 
George Douglas, 
Supt. Audubon Park, New Orleans, La. 
Far superior. Excellent range of colors 
and color combinations. 
. Palmer, 
Supt. of Parks, Grandville, Mich. 
They are the finest I have ever grown 
or seen. 
Glenn W. Garwood, 
Supt. of Parks, South Pasadena, Calif. 
Superior to any I have grown. More 
brilliant flowers. I think you have a 
strain that you and the public will be 
proud to grow and display. 
E. B. Sanders, 
Supt. of Parks, Williamsburg, Va. 
I consider them superior to anything 
else. This is the best combination of 
pastels that I have ever grown. The bril- 
liant orange and a mauve pink especially 
impressed me. I have not seen anything 
like them before. 
C. L. Mcllwaine, 
Supt. of Parks, El Segundo, Calif. 
Superior to any we have seen or 
planted. Deeper color and larger foliage, 
more so than any other. 
Frank D. Perry, 
Supt. of Parks, Richmond, California. 
Bloomed two to three weeks earlier 
than the usual run of Zinnias. Most won- 
derful plants I have ever seen and the 
flowers were magnificent. 
Charles E. Nelson, 
Supt. of Parks, Gainesville, Florida. 
Lucky Strike Zinnias are superior to any 
giant Zinnias I have had. It has been 
outstanding in vigor, structure and color. 
R. S. Barnhardt, 
Supt. of Parks, Akron, Ohio. 
The size of the blooms was as much 
as 7 inches across. Personally I think 
that the colors in your Lucky Strike are 
very outstanding, in fact, remarkable. 
Jack Kunhart, 
Supt. of Parks, Huron, So. Dakota.
