The Zinnia is one of the most brilliant and showy of annuals, and has 

 long been a general favorite. The seed can be sown early in the hotbed 

 and transplanted, or sown later in tlie open ground. They come into 

 flower early in the summer, and keep on blooming until hard frost.

This we consider the best type for general use, forming bushy, compact 

 plants not over 2 feet high, and bearing perfect double flowers as large 

 as the taller-growing sorts.

Double Fringed. A new type, which has much to recommend it. 

 The petals of the perfectly formed double flowers are more or less deeply 

 cut or fringed, giving them a rather more graceful appearance than the 

 usual form. The plants are of compact habit, about 80 inches high, and 

 have all the free-flowering merits of the family. We offer three distinct 

 colors, viz.: 



4472 Fringed White 10 



4473 — Deep Carmine. . 10 



4474 — Bright Rose .... 10
