No. 5106. Mignonette Improved Machet. 



Machet has been acknowledged to be one of the 

 most valuable varieties of large flowering, sweet-

 obtained through careful selection for a number of 

 years by a specialist in Northern Europe. It is of 

 robust growth and very hardy, producing large, 

 broad flower spikes of a reddish-green color, and 

 agreeable fragrance. Ounce, $1.00; Large 

 Pkt., .15.

John Walsh, Manager, 



Boston Flower Market. 



Boston, Mass., July 19, 1899. 

 I have used from fifteen to twenty dozen of " Evans' Boston 

 Giant Mignonette" daily, and can say truthfully it is the finest and 

 most fragrant Mignonette grown. Thomas F. Galvin. 



Boston, Mass., July 19, 1899. 

 The "Evans' Boston Giant Mignonette" is vastly superior to 

 any other sort the florists' use. The erect flower spikes are of enor- 

 mous size, dense and fragrant. It sells at sight. I have sold from 

 fifteen to thirty dozen daily. Wm, E. Doyle.
