MIGNONETTE. 



Per Pfct. 



Quite recently the varietie.i of this old favorite have been 

 enriched by two sorts that have proved distinct and de- 

 cided ac(iuisiti<ms. These are the Golden (jueen and 

 New Hybrid Spiral, which are an inimeuse advance on 

 previously existing sorts. Hardy Annuals.

Per ounce, 25 cents .•••■,••■ ^ 



Large-Flowered Pyramidal (Ri'^edd Ameli-

flowering sorts; exceedingly free-floweiing. and 

 equally well adapted for house as well as outdoor 

 culture • — ,•:; — •^" 



Parson's New White. Flowers nearly white; a 



desirable variety •,"";■■; 



New Hybrid Spiral. In our Trial Grounds last 



summer, this variety proved to be entirely distinct 

 Iroin 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 Iragi-ant. The seed we ofl'er, is 

 of our own saving. {Sec Cut) • 1&

MUSK PLANT (See Mimulus Moschatus). 

 MYRSIPHYLLUM (Smilax). 



There is no climbing plant in cultivation tliat surpasses this 

 in the graceful beauty ol its foliage, and its pecuhar wavy 

 formation renders it (uie 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 m wreaths, it is now considered indispensa- 

 ble by florists " 



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. Th^y 

 flower better, however, in a poor, rocky soil, as a rij-h 

 one has a tendency to make tlieni "run to leaf." The 

 "Tom Thumb" varieties are splendid bedding sorts.
