PRIZE ZEA, OR MAIZE. 



The Varieties composing the following Collection (80 in number) were awarded 

 the PIE&T PEIZE at the "Great International Gourd, Maize, and Fruit Show," 

 held in the "Eoyal Horticultural Gardens, South Kensington," from the 8th 

 to the 20th October last. 



Like the Eicinus, the Zea in all stages of its growth is an effective plant, but eminently so towards 

 the months of August and September, when it has attained the height of from 4 to 6 feet. Its long 

 gi-aceful leaves, elegant tasselled crown, and majestic appearance, make it particularly attractive in 

 large flower borders, combining 1;o these qualities a delicate green hue, which renders it strikingly 

 eticctive for shrubberies, select plantations, sides of lakes, and on islands. 



The heads, when ripe, are remarkably handsome, being of many beautiful and curious colours, self 

 and variegated, so that they are interesting winter ornaments for the dra^ving room and the hall. 



The seed should be sot\ti under glass in March or April, and good stocky plants put out the middle 

 of May ; or they can be sown in the open ground the beginning of May.
