New Double White Mignonette Snowball 



NEW DOUBLE WHITE MIGNONETTE 

 SNOWBALL.

 have really been only a dull gray color, and having little 

 fragrance, the "Snowball" is purs white, very full and 

 double, and possessed of the true Mignonette odor. To its 

 many good qualities it adds the charm of regularity of 

 growth, forming compact pyramids densely covered with 

 bloom, giving to the plant a very attractive a])pearance. It 

 makes an admirable pot plant, and for winter forcing 

 stands far ahead of all other varieties. 25 cts. each.
