Mignonette 



This rapid growing annual is highly esteemed for its delicate fragrance. 

 The largest and finest spikes of blooms are produced during the cool, 

 moistwealher of early Spring and late Fall, but will flower freelv during 

 the Summer from Spring sown seed. As the young plants are not readily 

 transplanted the seed should be sown in the flower beds where the plants 

 are to bloom, and the second planting made about the first of August, to 

 furnish flcwers during the Siimmer months. Praise is unnecessary for 

 this popular HoAver. Everybody is familiar Avith its weU-known sweet- 

 ness and graceful sprays of bloom. Au excellent plant for bedding and 

 for bee feeding.
