ZI'NNIA. (Named after /. G. Zinn, a German pro-

 Linn. ig-Syngenesia, 2-Superflua.) 



Mexican annuals, scarlet-flowered, with one exception. 

 Seeds in April in a hotbed ; seedlings hardened off, and 

 then transferred to the flower-garden, in good, rich, 

 loamy soil. If sown earlier, they are apt to be drawn 

 and attacked by insects. We have had them fine by 

 sowing under a hand-light, without bottom-heat, in the 

 middle of April, and throwing a mat over the glass at 



night. Z. elegans is the species from which most of the 

 garden varieties have been raised.
