The plants grow to a medium height and 

 the flowers measure about 2 1 / 3 inches across. 



Zinnia elegans spectabilis fl. pi. miniata, 

 Dam. 1898 (Electro), flowers of minium 

 colour ; petals of a peculiar form, being 

 slightly folded up, forming a kind of canal 



Zinnia elegans spectabilis fl. pi. cupreata, 

 Dam. 1899. We are offering the second 

 color, a fine copper red, of the new 

 Z. spectabilis class introduced by us 2 years 

 ago 



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 fl. pi 



Zinnia elegans grandiflora laciniata fl. 

 cameo pi., Dam. 1901. Same as the 

 former, but the fine large flowers are of 

 a delicate rose-incarnate colour

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 

 new kind can therefore be quite specially 

 recommended as a border plant.
