SWEET MIGNONETTE (rESEDA ODO&ATA). 



Fg^ iGnonETTE^. 



Our Superto Strains.— It is unnecessary for us to praise this popular flower; everybody is familiar with its 

 well-known sweetness and graceful sprays of bloom. By sowing the seeds at different times a succession of flowers 

 can be had. We would strongly recommend our juixture for general sowing ; it is unequaled.
