MIGNONETTE (Reseda) □

No annual is a more general favorite than the 
Mignonette. Of the easiest culture, it adapts 
itself to all situations. Its greatest usefulness is in 
combination with those cut-flowers which lack 
the fragrance in which this flower so abounds. 
Reseda is found in Southern Europe, Northern 
Africa, the Canary Islands, and some species in 
the U. S. 
Allen’s Defiance —The florist's favorite. Large 
spikes, very fragrant, and will keep for days after

MOONFLOWER (Ipomoea grandiflora) □ 
(Normal germination, 8-15 days) 
These beautiful rapid-growing climbers will grow 
about 30 feet in one season. Though really a 
perennial, is best treated as an annual, as it will 
not survive northern winters. Leaves are large 
and the flowers, which open as the sun is sinking 
are very fragrant. We have found it best to 
plant the seeds one-half inch deep, after 
having soaked them overnight in warm 
water.

inches wide. Opens only night and morning.
