SWEET MIGNONETTE
Do you ever remember having enough mignonette? Do 'you ever remember growing tired of mignonette? "No," is the only answer to tho above questions. Flower lovers never see enough of this old-timer. We doubt if they ever will see enough mignonette. One thing you' might try and do this year is to grow a bed or a border of the sweetly-scented plant to see if the old love still has any power over you. Begin by making the land both friable and rich. Good stem and leaf growth comes from good soil. The perfume content, we believe, is higher in our country. However, the main thing just now is to prepare the land and to get the seed sown. We can hawe a chat another day about seent values. A sunny spot is necessary. Mignonette will not flower too well in the semi-shade. Level the surface of the bed or border first, and then broadcast the seed. Top up with old manure or* anything that will not cake on thosurface. Don't try transplqnting. Mignonette is one of the plants that do not like handling. Timi Our where Ihe seedlings come too close together.
