MIGNONETTE. 



Per rut. 



Quite recently the varieties of this old favorite have been 

 enriched by two sorts that have proved distinct and de- 

 cided acquisitions. These are the (.olden Queen anil 

 New Hybrid Spiral, which arc an immense advance on 

 previously existing sons. Hardy Annuals. 



Mignonette (Reseda Odorata). Large-flowered variety. 



Per ounce, 25 cents » 



Large. Flowered Pyramidal [Reseda Ameli- 



orata). Quite distinct from the old large-flowered 

 variety; its foliage and flowers are much larger: the 

 plants are of pjramidal growth and attain a large 

 size 10 



New Giant. The best and most distinct of the large 



flowering sorts; exceedingly free-rioweiiug, and 

 equally well adapted for house as well as outdoor 

 culture 19 



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 

 Horn 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. (See Cut) IS 



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 19

 growth. 



Mukia Scabrella. From New Holland, 10 ft 19 



MUSK PLANT (See Mimulus Moschatus). 

 MYRSIPHYLLUM (Smilax). 



There is no climbing plant in cultivation that surpasses this 

 in the graceful beauty of its foliage, and its peculiar wavy 

 formation renders it one of the most valuable of all 

 plants for vases or hanging baskets, as it can be used 

 either to climb or to droop, as required; with cut flowers, 

 particularly in wreaths, it is now considered indispensa- 

 ble by florists 26 



NASTURTIUM. 



These will always be valuable summer-flowering plants, 

 for the reason that they stand' any amount of heat and 

 drought, growing vigorously and flowering freely, no 

 matter how high the thermometer may record. They 

 flower better, however, in a poor, rocky soil, as a rich 

 one has a tendency to make them ••run to leaf." The 

 "Tom Thumb" varieties are splendid bedding sorts.
