94 Growing Flowers 



Mayflower 



The mayflower grows wild in the Southern 

 States. It requires light soil mixed with leaf-mold, 

 very little sunlight, and plenty of moisture. It is 

 very successfully grown in the rock garden and 

 requires practically no care after once having a 

 good start. 



Mignonette 



Every garden should have mignonette in plentiful 

 supply. The seed can be sown at any time and if 

 successive plantings are made every three weeks, 

 it will last until late autumn in the out of doors. 

 The last sowing should be made the latter part of 

 August. 



A pot of mignonette for the dining table will be 

 much appreciated in the dead of winter. Seed 

 should be sown in July. 



The mignonette requires rich, friable soil, plenty 

 of moisture, and frequent cultivation to conserve the 

 moisture. The ground should be well drained 

 for if it becomes sodden the stems of the plant 

 may rot.
