Salmonea 

 Violacea 



0 Zinnia elegans grandiflora laciniata 

 fl. albo pi., Dam. 1899 (Electro), 

 a splendid new class ! The petals of the 

 perfect shaped flowers are as is shown 

 in our cut more or less deeply cut , a 

 fact never met before with any Zinnia. 

 The habit of the plant and shape of the 

 pure white flowers is exactly that of the 

 Z. elegans ft. pi 



0 Zinnia elegans pygmaea flore pleno 

 (Electro). An absolutely new dwarf 

 kind of only about 8 inches in height 

 but in spite of this very dwarf habit, of 

 most extraordinary rich flowering. We 

 have had as many as 25 to 30 flowers 

 of about 3 inches in diameter on a 

 single plant, which is certainly remar- 

 kable considering its small proportions. 

 The flowers are quite as large and double 

 as those of the old Z. elegans. — This
