ZSrowenng Mignonette, Red Goliath 



This is the grandest Mignonette ever produced for garden 

 tulture. of stocky, candelabra habit, strong growth, lux 

 nriant foliage, healthy and deep-rooting. The aver- 

 age spikes of flowers are immense, measuring 6 to 

 8 inches long by 2% inches in diameter, and are 

 compactly filled with giant florets, measuring 

 ]i inch across and packed full, even in the 

 centre, with anthers, or three time- as many 

 is the older Mignonettes contain, conse- 

 quently this variety is correctly called a 

 <fouMe Mignonette. The color of the 

 florets — fire-red — is strengthened on 

 account of the density of the florets 

 and spikes, thus presenting almost 

 solid columns of brilliant red, effec- 

 tively contrasted against the 

 healthy, rich green foliage. The 

 fragrance is delightfully rich and 

 powerful. For cutting it is perfec- 

 tion, remaining fresh for 8 to 10 

 days in water. (See cut.) Per 

 1,000 seeds, 60c. Pkt. 20c.

NICOTIANA 



SANDERS. 



The flower-seed novelty of the year ; 

 a most showy and profuse-flowering 

 garden annual, giving a continuous 

 display of brilliant carmine-red flowers 

 through summer and autumn. It is 

 easily grown from seed, commenc- 

 ing to flower in a few weeks from 

 sowing, and thrives in a sunny 

 position in any good garden soil. 

 \ The plant is of compact, bushy 

 J habit about 2 feet high. Its 

 copious branches carry the 

 flowers in clusters, the whole 

 plant being literally ablaze with 

 them, thousands being borne 

 on a single plant during the 

 season; the glorious effect in the 

 garden is unsurpassable. The 

 plant and flowers are similar in 

 habit and form to those of the 

 popular white-flowering fragrant 

 N. affinis, from which it is a 

 hybrid, but the flowers of A". 

 Sanderse are more freely produce I 

 and are much larger, measuring from 2 

 to 2% inches across, and remain open 

 all day. (See cat.) Pkt. 25c. 



" In the press notice- of the exhibi- 

 tions in the Temple Gardei 

 Holland House, held by the Royal 

 Horticultural Society ot England, 

 Nicotiana Sanders baa been 

 out as the plant which will make its 

 mark in the world. 1 am absolutely 

 certain that as an open-ground plant 

 Nicotiana Sanders will in future be 

 classed among the most valuable, 

 and we recommend it to w I 



attention."— From The Deutsche GSrt-
