Henderson's F?owe'ing Mignonette, 



RED GOLIATH. 



One of the finest Mignonettes for garden culture; of stocky, 

 candelabra habit, strong growth, luxuriant foUage, healthy 

 and deep-rooting. _ The average spikes oi fiowers are immense, 

 measuring 6 to S inches long by '2h inches in diameter, and 

 are compactly filled -n-ith giant florets, measuring J inch 

 across and packed full, even in the centre, with anthers, or 

 three times as many as the older Mignonettes contain, con- 

 sequently 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 colunms of brilliant red, efltectively contrasted against 

 the health?-, rich green foliage. The fragrance is delight- 

 fully rich and powerful. For cutting it is perfection, re- 

 maining fresh for 8 to 10 days in water. {See cut.) Per
