778. TENNISBTUM RUEPPELIANUM 10 
One of the most brilliant and showy of annuals, which has long been a general 
favorite. They come in flower early in the Summer and keep on blooming until 
hard frost; require little attention and succeed almost anywhere. For perfection 
of blossom start the seeds in March and prick out once or twice before transferring 
to the open border in May or June. Provide the plants with plenty of room, at 
east 18 mches apart each way, and they soon completely cover the ground.

770A. ACHIEVEMENT (Elegans Robusta Grandiflora)— The raising of 
this beautiful new Zinnia is undoubtedly an "achievement in the field of 
horticultural endeavour. 
It is distinct from all other Zinnias hitherto raised by the shape of its 
fietals, which are partially tubular at the base and expand in a cactus-like 
orm towards the tip, thereby displaying a rich variety of colour, mostly 
of the warmer shades, such as pale rose, deep rose, salmon, lilac, scarlet, 
and coppery golden yellow. 
On the reverse side the petals are of a lilac tint, varying from light to 
dark, and by their singular contour they produce in the flower a rare and 
beautiful combination of colour never before seen amongst Zinnias. 
The plant is a very free and strong grower, producing an abundance of 
very double flowers on stalks borne well clear of the foliage. The indivi- 
dual blooms often attain a diameter of five or six inches, and. besides its 
highly decorative effect in the garden, this new Zinnia can be strongly 
recommended as a cut flower. . . ., 35
