variously striped, blotched, and spotted. Is. 6d. per packet.

176 WALLFLOWER, “HARBINGER,” An Autumn and Winter-flowering' Variety.

flower, when no other out-door, and but few greenhouse flowers can be had. The flowers are 
a rich red. <Sd. per packet.

colours. Height 12 to 15 inches. Is. per packet. 
182 ZINNIA ELEGANS TAGETIFLORA FL. PL.— A beautiful aud distinct novelty, in- 
cluding all the brilliant shades of colour of the double Zinnia, but differing from it in the shape

in the Hollyhock, which impai-ts a pretty clfect to the flowers. Is. per packet.
