- 6 The market variety ; in universal esteem for its early bloom and delicious fragrance 
1 0 Colour chamois changing to terra-cotta and salmon, very interesting variety

1/- & 1/6 Distinct and pretty sulphur coloured variety ; nice habit and a free bloomer 
1/- & 2/6 Choice selected variety, specially noted for its size, colour, and fragrance ; recommended 
- 6 This produces various shades of purple, violet, and plum colour ; desirable contrasts 
1 0 A grand ruby violet colour with catrulean tint, remarkably handsome ... ... ... ... 
- 6 Original yellow variety, and with the blood colour makes an excellent wall or rock plant 
- 3 Hardy Californian Annual, profuse tubular open-mouthed blossoms, dark purple 
1 0 These are plants remarkable for the large size of their leaves, and are much used and prized in the 
1 0 Sub-tropical Garden, or as specimens on lawns in Summer

-/6 & 1/- Zinnia elegans. Fine-coloured varieties, which have been obtained by careful and skilful 
- 3 cultivation from the old Mexican variety. As a single composite the Zinnia stands 
- 3 unique for elegance of form and richness and variety of colour combined. In 
- 3 .the formation of beds or mixed borders they intermingle well with Pyrethrum, Paris 
- 3 Daisy, Aster, etc. See Illustration, page .101 
-16 & 1/- Zinnia indiea. Has been erroneously supposed a double variety of Z. elegans produced 
- 6 by culture, but we have never known a cultivator who has attained that result. 
- 6 We had the first seed from India many years ago, but reserved its distribution for 
- 6 some time in order to verify its character. The double Zinnia is a flower of 
- 6 marvellous beauty and utility, equal in form to the finest Aster, and superior to it in 
- 6 variety of colour. A bed of double Zinnias is worth remembering. Also grown 
- 6 in Greenhouse or Conservatory in pots, or in small groups or single specimens in 
- 6 mixed border ; as a border flower it is in the front rank. See page 101 ... 
1 0 Hardy Annual, fine double Ranunculus-like bloom, dark orange, for beds or pots
