ZINIHA, Nat. Ord. Gompos'itoi. Splendid half-hardy 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 zhe flower border are more effective, and scarcely any flower 
when cut, is so beautful in table bouquets. Well grown in pots it is a useful plant for in-door decoration. 
The Pumila varieties, which are dwarf and compact, are admirably adapted as pot plants, and valuable for beds. 
The single Zinnias are also very handsome, while it would be inipossible to speak too highly of the double and 
single varieties of Mexicazia for beds, rock-work, and znasses in the borders.

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 ftirnished unless the walls, pillars, 
etc., are covered with Climbers. In the adornment of the flower garden, 'the hardier kinds fie invaluable 
for covering 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, seep. 75.
