 last year, the " New Doukle Zinnia " has proved the most important acquisition, its splendid 

 double flowers rivalling in beauty, size, and form, moderate sized dahlias. Our " Sahdinian 

 Correspondent" during the past summer has, in the exercise of his usual skill and«good 

 taste, classified and arranged the flowers into twenty-four distinct colours, rejecting every im- 

 perfect and scini-douMc flower, so that the seed we offer may be relied upon producing from 

 80 to 90 per cent, of the most beautiful double flowers.
