PETER HENDERSON & CO.-FLOWER SEEDS. 



EEE named and introduced by us. 

 The flowers, both striped and 

 self-colored, present aU colors 

 and shades known in the Zinnia, such as 

 orange, crimson, pinli, yellow, violet, 

 rose, scarlet, white, etc. An interesting 

 characteristic of ths Zebea Zinnia is a tendency 

 shown by some of the plants to throw out a branch 

 on which the flowers are self-colored, while all the 

 other blooms are variegated or striped, making a striking and 

 unique contrast. The flowers of this selection are perfect in shape, 

 and as evenly imbricated as a Camellia. The plant is also a great im- 

 provement over the large straggling Zinnia known to most people, grow- 

 ing not over 18 inches to 2 feet high, and of symmetrical and compact 

 habit. {See cut.) Price, mixed colors, 15 cts. per packet.

F^bW Mammoth PloWeriing Zinnia^. 



(Zinnia grandijlora plenissima, fl. pil.) 

 A new very large flowering race differing from the 

 old varieties in their more luxuriant robust 

 growth, and in the larger and moi-e conical shape 

 of the flowers, which have broader and many 

 more petals. The plant forms a handsome bush, 

 3 feet in height, and the large, perfectly formed double floN\cis, 

 measuring 5 to 6 inches across, are borne in uninterrupted succes- 

 sion on strong slender stems and well displayed above the foliage ; the flowers 

 are of most intense and brilliant colors, and comprise several new and rich hues. 

 The lu.xurious growth and free-flowering habit of this fine novelty renderitpar- 

 ticularly attractive for large groups or flower borders. Mixed colors, 15 cts.
