MIGNONETTE. 



Reseda. 



Mignonette Is the French word for "little darling." No more expressive 

 word could well be found for the sweet, homely flower that by its merits 

 alone has won its way as the favorite of all. though hundreds of showier 

 flowers were its rivals. Xo garden is complete without its plot of Migno- 

 nette; no nosegay finished without its sprig of this sweet-smelling flower. 

 We pride ourselves on our choice strains of this favorite flower, and believe 

 no finer seed can be procured anywhere. Sow early in the ground for 

 summer blooming, and In pots anytime for the window. Hardy annual; 

 one foot high.
