1160. n.H.A. Cannells’ Reseda Alba (Mignonette)— l.ittlo or no 
odour, and its flower spikes are white, elevated on long stalks, and lasting 
in water for days. We are certain it will become a great favourite with 
all persons of taste ; it will not only give a new and beautiful feature 
to all cut-flower arrangements, but can be used in room decoration, 
hand bouquets, or wherever cut flowers are required, adding beauty and 
setting off other flowers lo great advantage. As a pot plant it is very 
beautiful ; a strong grower, and possessing quite a lovely fern-shaped 
foliage, which increases its attractiveness. Of a very pleasing and telling 
effect when formed into groups with the addition of several other flowering 
plants, and finished off with ferns ; a desirable plant where light and artistic 
floral arrangements are necessary. Planted outdoors in May it soon grows 
into well-shaped plants, flowering profusely, and hardly e.xcelled by any j 
other plant for beauty. Pigured in the Gardeners’ Chronicle. This has 
been found one of the most select flowers for bees -the honey obtained 
being of the finest quiility. Per pkt. , 6</. and Is.
