MIGNOXETTE, 

 NEW HYBRID SPIRAL. 



MIMT-LrS TIGBIXtTS, FL. PL, 



MIGNONETTE. 



Quite recently the varieties of this old favorite have 

 been enriched by two sorts that have proved distinct 

 and decided acquisitions. These are the Golden Queen 

 and Naw Hybrid Spiral, which are an immense ad- 

 vance on previously existing sorts. Hardy Annuals. 



Mignonette i Reseda Odorata). Large-flowered variety. 

 Per ounce. 25 cents 5 



Large-flowered Pyramidal iPeseda Amelio- 



rata). Quite distinct from the old large-flowered 

 variety; its foliage and flowers are much larger; 

 the plants are of pyramidal growth and attain a 

 large size 10 



New Giant. The best and most distinct of the 



large-flowering sorts; exceedingly free-flowering 

 and equally well adapted for house as well as out- 

 door culture 10 



Parson's New White. Flowers nearly white; 



a desirable variety 10 



New Hybrid Spiral. In our Trial Grounds last 



summer this variety proved to be entirely distinct 

 from any of the older varieties of Mignonette. It 

 is a strong grower and a most abundant bloomer, 

 producing flower spikes from 8 to 11 inches in 

 length, deliciously fragrant. The seed we offer is 



of our own saving. (Sea cut.) 15 



— -The Prize. This variety bears a very close, dense 

 Spike, entirely free from straggling blooms, fully 

 twice the ordinary size, and as deliciously fragrant 

 as any 10 



Golden Qneen. (See Novelties.) 25 



Odorata Coinpacta Glanca. A new sort, 



which forms a circular bush 18 inches in diameter, 

 and not more than 9 inches in height ; its fragrant 

 blooms are of a shade entirely distinct in Migno- 

 nette, being what might be called a glaucous shade 

 of lilac. One of the best new things we have ever 

 met witli 25
