Mignonette, "Red Goliath." 



This is perhaps the finest novelty we offer this season : it certainly is the grandest Mignonette ever produced for 

 garden culture and probably will prove equally superior for forcing under glass. " Red Goliath " has been evolved 

 by the German grower of "Rubin" from that famous Mignonette and it has the Litter's stocky candelabra habit, 

 strong growth, luxuriant foliage, health and deep-rooting qualities, while 

 "Red Goliath" eclipses all open-air varieties in both size i >( Sower spikes 

 and individual florets. The average spikes of flowers are immense, 

 measuring 6 to 8 inches long by 2 1 § inches in diameter, and are 

 compactly filled with giant florets, measuring l ? inch across 

 and packed full, even in the centre, with anthers or three 

 times as many as the older Mignonettes contain, conse- 

 quently this variety is correctly called arlouble Mignon- 

 ette. The color "ft he florets — fire red — Is strengthened on 

 account of the density of the florets and spikes, thuspre- 

 senting almost solid columns of brilliant red. effectively 

 contrasted against the healthy, rich green foliage. The 

 fragrance is delightfully rich and powerful. We can 

 scarcely praise this Mignonetteenough for either garden 

 or pot culture, while for cutting it is the acme of perfec- 

 tion : the giant trusses of fragrant flowers remain fresh 

 for 8 to 10 dnvs in water. (See cut. I I'kl. 20c.

The varieties of Lobelia Erinus are well-known favoritesfor bedding, vases, 

 baskets, pots, etc., but none of them have shown more than two colors in 

 one flower— either blue with white or red with white— but now we are able to 

 offer two hybrids, each of which produces tri-colored flowers; the contrasts 

 are effective and pleasing. (.See cut.)
