. Dreer's garden calendar for 1887. Seeds Catalogs; Nursery stock Catalogs; Gardening Catalogs; Flowers Seeds Catalogs. NOVELTIES AND SPECIALTIES EOR 1887. xv Mignonette. Bird's Mammoth. No. 6096. A profuse flowering, very fragrant Mignonette, bearing long and thick spikes. For florists or growers for market, this variety is specially adapted. Per pkt., 15 MINA LOBATA. No. 6115. Charming half-hardy Mexican climb- ing annual, closely resembling the Ipomoeas both in growth and foliage, though from its flowers quite distinct from that genus. In color they are as singular as they are attractive ; the buds are, at first, of a vivid red, but turn to orange yellow im- mediately before they open, and when fully ex- panded the flowers are of a creamy white shade. They are freely produced from the base to the summit of the plant, which attains a height of from 18 to 20 feet and constitutes a strikingly beautiful object. Like the Cypress Vine (Ipomoea Qua- moclit), with which it has much in common, this rapid growing species cannot fail to become popular. Per pkt., 25 cts. PANSY, TRIMARDEAU. No. 6234. An entirely new and distinct variety. The plants are of strong, compact habit; the flowers are carried well above the foliage, and are marked with three large blotches. They are of re- fined form and of a size hitherto unattained in this genus. The true Trimardeau Pansies of French origin,seed much less freely than any other class ; the stock we offer was saved exclusively from fine formed flowers of the richest colors.
