FLOWER SEED SPECIALTIES 
Nicotiana Sanderse 
Large-Flowering Hybrids. 
Most showy and profuse-flowering garden annuals, giving 
a continuous display.’of brilliant flowers through summer 
and autumn; easily grown from seed, commencing to flower 
in a few weeks from sowing, thriving in a sunny position 
in any good garden soil. The plants, of branching, bushy 
habit, 2 to 3 feet high, carry the flowers in clusters, the whole 
being literally ablaze with them, thousands being borne on a 
single plant during the season; the glorious effect in the 
garden is unsurpassable. The plant and flowers are similar 
in habit and form to those of the popular white-flowering 
fragrant N. affinis , but the flowers of these new hybrids 
are much larger, measuring from to 2 inches across, 
and remain open all day. We offer the collection of 
Nicotiana Sander®, new large-flowering hybrids, eight 
varieties, 1 pkt.. each of the following colors: purple, white, 
dark red, light red, salmon, crimson, violet and pink, 
for 35c.

Henderson's Flow'S* Mignonette, 
RED GOLIATH. 
One of the finest Mighonettes for garden culture; of stocky 
candelabra habit, strong growth, luxuriant foliage, healthy 
and deep-rooting. The average spikes of flowers are immense 
measuring 6 to 8 inches long by 2 b inches in diameter, and 
are compactly filled with giant florets, measuring h inch 
across and packed full, even in the centre, with anthers, or 
three times as many as the older Mignonettes contain, con¬ 
sequently this variety is correctly called a double Mignonette. 
The color of the florets—fire-red—is strengthened on account 
of the density of the florets and spikes, thus presenting almost 
solid columns of brilliant red, effectively contrasted against 
the healthy, rich green foliage. The fragrance is delight¬ 
fully rich and powerful. For cutting it is perfection, re¬ 
maining fresh for 8 to 10 days in water. (See cut.) Per 
1,000 seeds, 50c., Pkt. 15c.
