ORNAMENTAL PRIZE ZEA OE MAIZE. 



The Varieties composing our splendid Collection (80 in number) -were awarded 

 the FIRST PRIZE at the " Royal Horticultural Exhibition, South Kensington." 



Like the Ricinus and Holcus Grass, the Zea in all stages of its growth is an effective plant, 

 but eminently so towards the months of Ahgust and September, when it has attained the hei^'-ht of 

 from 4 to 6 feet. Its lon^ graceful delicate green leaves, elegant tasselled crown, and majestic appear- 

 ance, make it particularly attractive in large flower borders, shrubberies, select plantations, sides of 

 lakes, and on islands. 



The heads, when ripe, are remarkably handsome winter ornaments for the drawino-'room or ball 

 being of many beautiful and curious colours, self and variegated. 



The seed should be sown under glass in Jlarch or April, and good stocky phints put out the 

 middle of May ; or it can be sown in the open ground early in May. 



Having for several years described our splendid coOcction, -vve now simply offer assortments.
