RUSSES 
Mignonette is the French word for “ little darling.” No 
more expressive word could well be found for the sweet, 
homely flower that by its merits alone has won its way as 
the favorite of all, though hundreds of showier flowers were 
its rivals. No garden is complete without its plot of 
Mignonette, no nosegay finished without its sprig of this 
sweet smelling flower. We pride ourselves on our choice 
strains of this favorite flower, and believe no finer seed can 
be procured anywhere. Sow early in the ground for. summer 
blooming, and in pots any time for the window. Per pkt.
