sowing and continues to bloom until checked by frost. The 
individual flowers are large and are borne in clusters on long, 
graceful stems, rendering them very useful for cutting. Color,

NICOTIANA 
SANDER/E. 
The flower-seed novelty of the year; 
a most showy and profuse-flowering 
garden annual, giving a continuous 
display of brilliant carmine-red flowers 
through summer and autumn. It is 
easily grown from seed, commenc¬ 
ing to flower in a few weeks from 
sowing, and thrives in a sunny 
position in any good garden soil. 
The plant is of compact, bushy 
habit about 2 feet high. Its 
copious branches carry the 
flowers in clusters, the whole 
plant 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, from which it is a 
hybrid, but the flowers of N. 
Sanderm are more freely produced 
and are much larger, measuring from 2 
to 2M* inches across, and remain open 
all day. ( See cut.) . Pkt. 25c. 
“ In the press notices of the exhibi¬ 
tions in the Temple Gardens and 
Holland House, held by the Royal 
Horticultural Society of England, 
Nicotiana Sanderre has been picked 
out as the plant which will make its 
mark in the world. I am absolutely 
certain that as an open-ground plant 
Nicotiana Sander* will in future be 
classed among the most valuable, 
and we recommend it to universal 
attention.”—From The Deutsche Gilrt -

Double-Flowering Mignonette, Red Goliath. 
This is the grandest Mignonette ever produced for garden 
culture, of stocky, candelabra habit, strong growth, lux¬ 
uriant foliage, healthy and deep-rooting. The aver¬ 
age spikes of flowers are immense, measuring 6 to 
8 inches long by 2 l £ inches in diameter, and are 
compactly filled with giant florets, measuring 
l /2 inch across and packed full, even in the 
centre, with anthers, or three times as many 
as the older Mignonettes contain, conse¬ 
quently 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, effec¬ 
tively contrasted against the 
healthy, rich green foliage. The 
fragrance is delightfully rich and 
powerful. For cutting it is perfec¬ 
tion, remaining fresh for 8 to 10 
days in water. (See cut.) Per 
1,000 seeds, 60c., Pkt. 20c. 
Machet Perfection 
MIGNONETTE. 
This improved very large flowering 
Mignonette is the result of scientific 
culture and selection by the celebrated 
French growers, Mess. Machet and Josem, 
the original introducers of the Machet 
Mignonette, over which this variety is an 
improvement. It produces broad, enormous 
spuces of very fragrant red flowers on strong 
and graceful stems, dressed with vigorous foliage, 
evenly branched and of continuous-blooming habit 
much the superior of its type; one of the best for 
either garden or pot culture. Per 1,000 seeds, 30c.,
