MIGNONETTE (Reseda) □ 
Culture 1, 4 or 5. Normal germination, 8-10 days 
No annual is a more general favorite than the Mignonette. Of 
the easiest culture, it adapts itself to all situations, but prefers 
a cool rich soil in a shady position. Sow where wanted to grow, 
or else handle in pots, as they do not transplant well. 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 cutting, holding their

and very strong with exceedingly large flower-spikes. 12 inches.
