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 

 new kind can therefore be quite specially 

 recommended as a border plant.
