MIGNONETTE. 



Reseda. 



Mignonette is the French word for " little darling.'' Nomore 

 expressive word could well be found for the sweet, homely fiower 

 that by its merits alone has won its way as the favorite of all, 

 though hundreds of showier flowers were its rivals. No garden 

 Is complete without its plot of Mignonette, no nosegay finished 

 without its spriff of this sweet-smelling flower. We pride our- 

 selves on our choice strains of this favorite flower, and believe 

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

 for summer blooming, and in pots any time for the window. Hardy 

 annual : one foot high.
