 almost covering the oval plants with bloom; height, 8 inches.

MIGNONETTE 



Red Goliath. One of the finest, being of strong growth, healthy 

 and deep-rooting. > The average spikes of flowers are im- 

 mense, measuring 6 to 8 inches long by 21-2 inches in diam- 

 eter, and are compactly filled with giant florets, measuring 

 ]/2 inch across and packed full, even in the center, with an- 

 thers, or three times as many as the older Mignonettes con- 

 tain, consequently this variety is correctly called a double 

 Mignonette. The color of the florets — 'fire-red — is strength- 

 ened on account of the density of the florets and spikes, thus 

 presenting 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
