Zinnia indica, Choice Double.

Zinnia indica. Has been erroneously supposed a double variety of Z. 
elegans produced by culture, but we have never known a cultivator who has 
attained that result. We had the first seed from India many years ago, but 
reserved its distribution for some time in order to verify its character. The 
double Zinnia is a flower of marvellous beauty and utility, equal in form to the 
finest Aster, and superior to it in variety of colour. A bed of double Zinnias 
is worth remembering. Also grown in Greenhouse or Conservatory in pots, or 
in small groups or single specimens in mixed border ; as a border flower it is 
in the front rank.

Zinnia elegans. Fine-coloured varieties, which have been obtained by careful 
and skilful cultivation from the old Mexican variety. As a single composite the Zinnia 
stands unique for elegance of form and richness and variety of colour combined ; for 
bedding purposes they are strikingly effective, and in mixed borders they present a 
great attraction; they may be also employed with effect in the decoration of Vases, etc., 
or in general ornamentation. The Zinnia also matches well with the Py rethrum : Paris 
Daisy, Aster, etc.

Wallflower, I Choice Double German. 
The Wallflower ( Cheiranthus Cheiri ), as a shrubby perennial, has 
been long established in our gardens as a Spring favourite ; its specific 
name, Cheiri , or the hand, was given to it from a custom of children 
and others carrying in their hand small bunches of its flowers as nosegays, 
or may be occasionally as votive offerings. 
The garden variety is an introduction of about three centuries 
since from Mediterranean shores, but there is one species indigenous 
to Britain, which has from time immemorial been a source of rural 
delight in its natural embellishment of old walls, ruins, &c.
