ZINNIA ELEGANS ELORE PLENO. 



^r^^ ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT NOVELTIES OF THE SEASON. 



Native of India. 



Description and Adaptation.— Nat. nrd. Comp^rila: Ealf-hardy Annual. 

 Flowers various colours. Hfi;^lit, U ft. A noble plant for beds, ribbons, and mixed 

 borders, with blossoms the size of small Dahlias, and produced in the greatest pro- 



Time and Manner of Sowing.— in March, or early in April, sow in heat, 

 either in well drained pans or boxes of light soil ; make the surlace level and 

 smooth, pressing it lightly ; and if tlie soil be dry, water freely some hours before 

 sowing. Sow thinly, and cover very liglitlv with fine sandy soil, placing a piece of 

 glass on the pan or box, and shading from bright sunshine. The seed may also be 

 sown lu a cold frame, or imder a haud-glass, and also on a warm sheltered border 

 eerly m May. 



_ After Management.— Immcdiaicly the plants appear remove the glass, and 

 give a little air on fine days ; water anlij uUeu ncces^try, and that through a fln' 

 rose ; and when strong enougli pot into small pots, placing three plants round the 

 side of each pot, replace in heat and keep rather moist and close till established ; 

 tlien remove to a cold frame, and when all danger of frost is ovjr plant out in rich soU. 

 The plants raised in the cold frame, S:c., should be transplanted when strong enough, 

 to where they are intended to bloom. An occasional watering with weak guano water 

 will hci-hten the colo.J- of the flowers, as well as increase the vigour of the plants.
