6099 Salmon Queen. Last Summer we made an extensive trial of 

 Mignonettes to determine the best varieties for outdoor culture. The 

 variety here offered was decidedly the best of the lot, being of strong, 

 robust habit, with fine spikes of bright salmon-red flowers and intensely 

 fragrant 10' 



6104 Defiance. When grown under favorable conditions 

 and with proper care, spikes will not only be of remark- 

 able size — from 12 to 15 inches long — but deliciously 

 fragrant, much more so than any other variety. The 

 individual florets are of immense size, forming a graceful 

 as well as compact spike. Its great strength is accom- 

 panied by extraordinary keeping qualities ; the spikes 

 have been kept 3 weeks after cutting, retaining their 

 grace and fragrance until every bud opens 15
