Oz. 75c 5 Large Flowering.—The common sweet mignonette. Oz. 15c 5 Golden Queen.—When in bloom this variety is a mass of golden yellow. Oz. 25c 5 MOON FLOWER. lpomcea Gra?idiflora Alba.— This is one of the most vigorous of all the summer climbers. Will grow thirty to forty feet in a single season, and be covered with its large, white flowers every evening and cloudy day. Complaint is sometimes made that the seed fails to grow satis- factorily. This is entirely due to the method of treatment. If the hard outer coat of the seed is cut through with a sharp knife and the seed planted in a warm place and the soil kept moist, germination will take place in ten days to two weeks. Pkt. 10.
