CANNELLS’ SEED GUIDE, 1910. 
CANNELLS’ WALLFLOWERS. 
l’er pkt. — 8. d. 
Wallflowers are prized for their deliciouB fragrance. In 
the Spring they are indispensable for beds, groups, and 
ribbons. The large massive conspicuous Bpikes of the 
double German varieties have a charming effect, while the 
more bushy compact growth and profuse blooming of the 
Single Wallflowers render them exceedingly attractive. A 
mass of Golden Tom Thumb, with its unalloyed rich golden 
orange blossoms, is a sight unrivalled, and bo profusely does 
it bloom as to resemble a dense carpet of gold.

CANNELLS’ FINEST EXHIBITION ZINNIAS. 
In some seasons the first or early flowers of Zinnias do not 
come perfectly double, it is therefore best to allow a fair 
time to elapse before weeding them out. 
Any time in April is quite early enough to sow the 
seed, which ought to be sown in gentle heat to get it to 
germinate. As soon as the plants are up stand near the glass 
to keep them strong and stocky, and after being pricked out 
into boxes and well rooted, harden off gradually for a week 
or so ready to plant out in rows a foot apart, and the same 
distance from plant to plant. To grow well and enable them 
to stand dry weather Zinnias require a good soil which has 
been deeply dug with plenty of rotten manure worked in, 
hha. 
The Pumila varieties, which are dwarf and compact, 
are admirably adapted for pot plants. 
Dwarf, Double Striped— Will produce 60 to 65 per cent, 
of striped flowers ; range of colour includes a great variety
