ZINNIAS 
Giant Zinnias 3000 seeds to the ounce. 
GIANT CACTUS FLOWERED 
These new giant zinnias with blooms often 6” 
across and 2”-3” deep have attractively curled 
and twisted petals, somewhat similar to the old 
Fantasy Zinnias. The plants are tall and vigorous 
and do best if given plenty of space. A good out- 
door item for florists; as useful as large flowering 
dahlias but easier to handle and much earlier. 
Plants sell very well at our Garden Store. 219’ 
W8176 BLAZE. This All America Winner for 
54 is described by the introducer as “‘open-

lows, buff, salmons, etc. The petals shade to yel-

tone effect. One of the most popular varieties in 
the Giant Flowering class especially with people 
who do not like the ‘‘strong”’ zinnia colors. 3’ 
Lg. Pkt. 25c; 1/4 Oz. 55¢; Oz. $1.50; 1/4 Lb. $4.50. 
CUT-&-COME-AGAIN (Pumila) 
(4200 seeds.) The soft colors and medium size of 
the Pumilas make them most adaptable for flor- 
ists’ use and for home flower arrangements. Many 
home gardeners prefer them to Pompons and 
Giants which accounts for the demand for well 
grown plants.

W8266 PEPPERMINT STICK. There has always been 
a lot of interest in striped zinnias. While some of 
the blooms are solid colors, from 60 to 70% are 
striped. Colors are white, yellow, orange, pink, 
red and purple, the darker ones striped and mot- 
tled with white; the lighter with darker colors. 
Like the Pumila type they bloom freely from 
July until frost. Home gardeners will want plants 
of them.
