2792 Red Goliath. One of the 

 finest, being of strong growth, 

 healthy and deep-rooting. 

 The average spikes of flowers 

 are immense, measuring 6 to 

 8 inches long by 2K inches 

 in diameter, and are com- 

 pactly filled with giant florets, 

 measuring }4 inch across and 

 packed full with anthers, con- 

 sequently this variety is cor- 

 rectly called a double Mignon- 

 ette. The color of the florets 

 — fire-red — is strengthened on 

 account of the density of the 

 florets and spikes, thus pre- 

 senting almost a solid column 

 of brilliant red effectively 

 contrasted against the healthy 

 rich green foliage. The frag- 

 rance is delightfully rich and 

 powerful, r-or cutting it is 

 perfection, remaining fresh 

 for 8 to 10 days in water.

Myosotis or Forget- Me-Not 



Popular perennials, flowering the first season from early spring- 

 sown seed, or they may be sown in summer or early fall; and if 

 bedded out and given protection like pansies they will winter over 

 and commence flowering in early spring; particularly effective as an 

 undergrowth for bulb beds. They are ranked among the best of our 

 spring flowers and are wonderfully effective when grouped with 

 Pansies and Daisies. The tall varieties are sprawling in habit and 

 soon cover quite an area of ground. 



All varieties flourish in moist, shady situations. (See illustration.)
