MIGNONETTE 



Goliath. One of the finest, being of strong 



wth. healthy and deep-rooting. The average 



spikes of flowers are immense, measuring 6 to 



8 inches long by 2M inches in diameter, and 



are compactly filled with giant florets, 



measuring Yi inch across and packed full, 



even in the center, with anthers, or three 

 times as many as the older Mignonettes 

 contain, consequently this variety is 

 correctly called a double Mignonette. 

 The color of the florets — fire-red — is 

 strenghtened on account of the density 

 of the florets and spikes, thus present- 

 ing almost solid columns of brilliant 

 red, effectively contrasted against the 

 healthy, rich green foliage. The fra- 

 grance is delightfully rich and powerful. 

 For cutting it is perfection, remaining 

 fresh for 8 to 10 days in water. Per 1.000 

 seeds, 50c. ; Per J4 oz.. 75c.; Pkl. 10c.
