The Best Mignonettes. 



Red Goliath. One of the finest Mignonette of strong growth, 

 healthy and deep-rooting. The average spikes of flowers 

 are immense, measuring 6 to 8 inches long by 2' 2 inches in 

 diameter, and are compactly filled with giant florets, meas- 

 uring Vn inch across and packed full, even in the centre, 

 with anthers, or three times as many as the older Mignon- 

 ettes contain, consequently this variety is correctly called 

 a double Mignonette. The color of the florets — fire-red — 

 is strengthened 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 fragrance is delightfully rich and powerful. 

 For cutting it is perfection, remaining fresh for 8 to 10 

 days in water. (See cut.) Per 1,000 seeds, 50c, Per *i oz.
