ZINNIA PERSIAN CARPET 
Like tiny dahlias, each with its pointed petals tipped 
with contrast, these perfect miniature Zinnias make 
the ideal garden edging subject. Dwarf plants begin 
blooming early; grow into tidy well-behaved 12-inch 
mounds of brilliant color, each plant different. Pick 
dozens of flowers, no two alike (yes, they do have cut- 
ting stems). The variegated flowers, each the size of a 
silver dollar, fit uniquely in the Modern house, yet 
look perfectly at home in an old-fashioned bouquet. The 
perfect size for window boxes, apartment gardens, it 
is still a real Zinnia—easy to grow, thriving on heat, 
it produces a wealth of bloom with minimum care.
