new sort are as double as those of a Ranunculus, of 

 globular shape, and entirely free from projecting

— Fl. Albo. The flowers of this new variety 



are white, equally as double, and of the same globu-

 August, if sown in the open ground; but if sown under 

 glass in April, they will bloom in June, and throughout the 

 entire season, making larger and finer plants. Few plants 

 have improved so much as the Zinnia, and we have now 

 dazzling scarlets, yellow orange, rose, liiac, crimson and 

 white, rivaling the Dahlia in symmetry. Half-hardy An-
