95 MIGNONETTE, SWEET-SCENTED LARGE FLOWERING PYRAMIDAL; also sold 
under the names of Reseda odorata ameliorata, Reseda pyramidaUn gtganteay Reseda odoraUi 
perfecta globosUy Reseda odorata perfecta pgramidalisy &c. Our continental friends are quite 
in a flurry over this Mignonette, striving to out do ciich other in their names and 
descriptions. One describes it as the variety which so much astonishes beholdere in the 
Paris market and the French Floral Exhibitions; another has ventured to give us the 
dimensions— 2 to 24 feet in lieidit. What would these untravelled forei^ers say of the 
Tree Mignonettes, 5 feet in height, which are sometimes seen at our Floral Exhibitions, and 
which the cultivators say could ;is easily be grown to 10 feet? Recently the finest specimens 
of Tree Mignonette have been exhibited by Mr. Lang, gardener to P. W. Flower, Esq., of 
Furzedown, Bunrey. He describes the process of growing the Tree Mignonette as quite 
simple. Attention should be given to keep the plants in a perfectly healthy, vigorous 
state, clean, and never allowed to experience a check from infancy till the plant has been 
grown to the required height and diametci*. We apprehend that this Mignonette is a very 
select stock of the broad-leaved arborescent variety, and as such we recommend it for the 
purposes named in preference to the other sorts l5. 2 G

years at Battersea Park, where it developes its enormous leaves. Seed expeciedy hut un-

101 MYOSOTIS DISSITIFLORA ; it seems to us a work of supererogation to remark upon this 
spring-flowering plant, seeing that the Gardeners' Chronicley the Journal of Horticulture, 
and the Gardeners' Weekly Magazine have been descanting freely on its merits. As all may 
not have read the glowing articles, we may just state that it is the earliest blooming Forget- 
me-not ; we think it will make a fine pot plant. It seeds very sparingly, and we therefore 
recommend it to be purchased in plants (20s. per 100 ; 5s. jier dozen). Potted now, these 
will be decorative this spring. Beds may also now be filled with them Seed 2 G

charming brown foliage, and dwarf close compact habit, causing it to be highly esteemed for 
edgings and front bands in ribbons, and for nlling panel beds. The present variety has all 
these characteristics, but the foliage is of a brilliant green, and on that account the 
introducer tliinks it will be valued as a contrast to the brown foliage variety Is. & 2 G
