MIGNONETTE FOR MARKET. 



The older varieties of mignonette, 

 •such as Parsons' White and Miles' 

 Spiral, have quite disappeared as far 

 tis Covent Garden market is concerned. 

 It is Machet, or selections from this 

 variety, which most growers now favor, 

 and those who have carefully selected 

 their own stock for seeds have much 

 improved the original form. Some 

 "which we now see in the market carry 

 immense heads of bloom, but they do 

 not run up so tall as the older varieties 

 referred to, and I do not think the 

 scent is so good. There is one advan- 

 tage, however; that is, Machet is vig- 

 orous and easily grown compared with 

 the others, but even with this I find 

 the best growers have failures. Al- 

 though such a common plant, there are 

 few market things that have given 

 growers more trouble, or of which so 

 many failures could be recorded. It 

 may sometimes be that a fungoid dis- 

 ease is the cause of loss, as it is with 

 cinerarias, calceolarias, etc., but I think 

 it is often attributable to the water- 

 dng. T have seen many instances where 

 over-watering has proved fatal, the fine 

 thread-like roots are so easily damaged. 

 I have found with spring-grown plants, 

 that once let mignonette get too dry, 

 and then water liberally, the roots will 

 have suffered from drought, and then 

 when water is given they cannot take 

 it up; consequently the soil gets soured, 

 and no new roots are made. — Horticul- 

 tural Advertiser. 



ViNCENNES, Ind. — A local newspaper 

 contains the following advertisement: 

 "From this time on C. A. Eieman, the 

 florist, will give a 'scent' with every 

 bloom and the 'earth' with every plant 

 sold at his greenhouses. Plenty of fresh 

 flowers of all kinds always on hand. '^'
