"SS 5 Mignonette, RED QOLIATH. 



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 8 inches long 

 by 2£ inches in diameter, and are compactly filled with giant florets, measuring £ inch across and 

 packed full, even in the centre, with anthers, or three times as many as the older Mignonettes contain, 

 consequently 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 bril- 

 liant red, effectively contrasted against the healthy, rich green foliage. The fragrance is delightfully 

 rich and powerful. For cutting it is perfection, remaining fresh for S to 10 days in water. (See cut.) 

 Per 1,000 seeds, 50c, PH. 15c. 



MACHET'S PERFECTION MIGNONETTE.

 habit much the superior of its type; one of the best for either garden or pot culture. Per 1,000 seeds, 30c, 

 PH. 10c
