Henderson's Rowwing Mignonette, 



RED GOLIATH. 



One of the finest Mignonettes for garden culture; of stocky, 

 candelabra habit, strong growth, luxuriant foliage, healthy 

 and deep-rooting. The average spikes of flowers are immense, 

 measuring 6 to S inches long by 2h inches in diameter, and 

 are compactly filled with giant florets, measuring A inch 

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

 three times as many as the older Mignonettes contain, con- 

 sequently this variety is correctly called a double 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, effectively contrasted against 

 the healthy, rich green foliage. The fragrance is delight- 

 fully rich and powerful. For cutting it is perfection, re- 

 maining fresh for 8 to 10 days in water. (See cut.) Per 

 1,000 seeds, 50c, Pkt. 15c.

 and autumn; easily grown from seed, commencing to flower 

 in a few weeks from sowing, thriving in a sunny position 

 in any good garden soil. The plants, of branching, bushy
