Annuuni Superbigsimuin. The blooms of this 



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

 globular shape, and entirely free from projecting 

 marginal florets. It is said to be the finest form of 

 Xeranthemum yet obtained: the flowers will, of 

 course, be exceedingly desirable for dried bouquets, 



etc 25 



— Fl. Albo. The flowers of this new variety 



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

 lar form as those of the red variety offered above. 

 It should also be more valuable than the red, for the 

 reason that white flowers are always in more request 

 for dried bouquets 25 



WIGANDIA. 



Per PJct. 

 Spendid ornamental-foliaged plants, with immense leaves, 

 3 ft. long by 1>2 ft. wide; seed sown early in spring, in 

 hot-beds, will produce fine plants by the middle of sum- 

 mer.

vigieri. Superb foliage 25 



ZINNIA ELEGANS, 



(Youth and Old Age.) 



Like Balsams or Petunias, these can be raised to flower by 

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

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

 entire season, making larger and liner plants. Few plants 

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

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

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

 nual.-i.

Alba, PI. PI. White, l>i ft 10 



Coccinea Fl. PI. Scarlet 10 



Striata, Fl. PI. Double striped 1» 



Haageana, Fl. PI. A beautiful novelty. The flow- 

 er is Ufa deep orange yellow color, keeping its color 

 when dried, thus rendering it an acquisition for bou- 

 quet making. It is also a good bedding plant, 

 blooming continually till the frost sets in !•
