This is really a first-class novelty and a charming com- panion to Amaranthus Rainbow offered on page 58. Plant low and bushy and covered with a luxuriant growth of fine green foliage. About the first of August the leaves at the tips of each branch turn to a golden-yellow color and look at a little distance like great heads of yellow bloom, often aa large as the panicle of a large Hydrangea. The effect is very pretty, and it is a plant which is sure to become very popu- lar, indeed. Pkt., Mignonette, Improved Victoria. This new Mignonette which was offered in Germany for the first time last year, has proved with us to be one of the most desirable novelties we have seen for a long time. It grows only six to twelve inches in height and is sure to put every lover of flowers in ecstacy by its perfectly regular, pyramidal habit and the beautifully formed spikes of the prettiest red Mignonette flowers ever seen. The flowers are larger and a more brilliant red than the eld Victoria and contrast charmingly with the dark, glossy, green foliage of the plant. We consider this the finest of all Mignonettes, either for the garden or for pot culture. Its large, compact spikes are exceedingly fragrant, seeming to surpass in this respect all other varieties. It is a robust and healthy grower and succeeds well, even in dry soil and hot sua where most Mignonettes fail.
