Handsome ornamental foliage plants. 
Japonica variegata as an ornamental foliage plant is not surpassed in the beauty of its variegation by the choicest 
stove plants. Caragua is tall and graceful ; Cuzko is the most majestic , and Gracillima the most dwarf

ZHTNIA, Nat. Ord. Cc7npositce. Splendid half-hardv annuals. 
The double Zinnia is one of the sterling novelties of recent years. The flowers are large, beautifully 
formed, and exceedingly handsome. Few plants in the flower border are more effective, and scarcely any flower 
when cut, is so beautiful in table bouquets. Well grown in pots it is a useful plant for in-door decoration. 
Ihe Pumila varieties, which are dwarf and compact, arc admirably adapted as pot plants, and valuable for beds. 
1 he single Zinnias are aiso very nandsome, while it would be impossible to speak too highly of the double and 
single varieties of Mexicana for beds, rock-work, and masses in the borders.

ORNAMENTAL CLIMBERS AND TWINERS. 
This is an important section of our Catalogue, and fully merits the prominent position assigned to it, as no 
glass erection, whether conservatory, greenhouse, or stove, can be considered furnished unless the walls, pillars, 
etc., are covered with Climbers. In the adornment of the flower garden, the hardier kinds are invaluable 
for covenng arbours, verandahs, trellises, rustic fences, and forming elegant chains and festoons such as now 
grace the Royal Horticultural Society s Gardens at South Kensington. For plants of climbers, see p. 73.
