Included in the famous Swei
son collection of coins, now hous-
ed in the Texas Memorial Muse-
um at Austin, are 2,217 bronze
pieces, 1,172 silver pieces, 87
gold and 1,846 metal and gilt.
The earliest coin included in -he
collection dates back to seven
centuries before Christ
Zinnia Fantasy While Light
awarded honorable mentlou In 1939
All America trials.
Most distinct of all the new zin-
nias is the Fantasy type. Intro-
duced four years ago as a mixture,
lovely separate colors have been
selected, and for this year a white
variety christened White Light won
honorable mention <n the All Ameri-
ca trials. **
If among its numerous merits the !
zinnia has a fault, it might have I
been found (before Fantasy ar |
rived) in the extreme regularity ol ,
its blossom, with flat petals, a
ways arranged just so. The dahiia i
flowered type was a departure from I
the original doorknob form, which j
was welcome; but the Fantasy type
is a complete change.
Fantasy zinnias have petals which
are twisted, slightly fluted, and
arranged in a shaggy disarray. It
is as easy to grow as anv zinnia
;:d the flowers are of mecL :m size,
bir-.-e to four inches in a ameter.
Besides the mixture originally in-
troduced. whiclt won an award of
merit in the 1935 All America trials,
there are now available Star Dust,
a selection of yellow: Orarge Lady,
and Rosalie, a deep rose.
Another new type of zinnia which
,s being rapidly improved is the
icabiosa-flowered. which has a
semi-globular crown of florets sur-
lOiinded by a row of flat petals, all
of like color It is obtainable in
i mixture which has most of the
I m»ia colors, and makes a most
L-.-iul cut flower.
