J£2 On the Cultivation of the Tree Mignonette. 



shot out its flowering branches in its usual manner, the Tree 

 Mignonette extended itself flat on the ground (being without 

 support) with long shoots, flowering more freely than the 

 other. The leaves of the common Mignonette are frequently 

 three-lobed, as well as long and broad, in comparison ; those 

 of the Tree Mignonette are small, short, and uniformly with- 

 out lobes, being simply lanceolate ; its shoots, though grow- 

 ing in apparent health and vigour, seem to have a tendency 

 to produce more flowers than leaves, and resemble those of 

 the common sort when it grows in a situation where it does 

 not receive much rich nourishment from the soil.
