NEW, LARGE-FLOWERING. 
- One of tlie Srealest flcplsitloiis of Heoent IntrodoGfion - 
g ELECTIONS have done as noble work witli the Mignonette as with any otlier florists' 
flower, and this strain is, beyond question, the acme of perfection. When grown under 
favorable conditions and with proper care, its spikes will not only be of remarkable size— 
from 12 to 15 inches long— but deliciously fragrant, much more so than any other variety. 
The individual florets are of remarkable size and stand out boldly, forming a graceful as well 
as compact spike. Its remarkable strength is accompanied by extraordinary keeping 
qualities ; the spikes have been kept in a vase three weeks after cutting, retaining their grace 
and fragrance until every bud opens. 
PER PACKET, 25 CENTS.

Mr. F. E. McAllister, 
Bear Sir: I got a package of your New Mignonette, 
Allen's Defiance, and must say it is much the finest I ever 
saw, the spikes and individual flowers are very large. The 
seed was sown early in August, and I have sold the first 
crop, the greater part of it coming in fine for Christmas. 
Yours respectfully, 
H. DALE.

Mr. F. E. McAllister. 
Dear Sir: Your Mignonette, Allen's Defiance, is 
without doubt the finest I have ever seen. On several we 
have measured 12 inches from the end of the spike to the first 
leaf. It is a fine strong grower and a good market variety, 
and I wish I had the house full of this variety. 
Very respectfully, 
WILLIAM W. EDGAR.
