ioo Growing Flowers 



nasturtiums shade the ground and the sweet peas 

 seem to do better than when grown alone. As 

 nasturtiums require little nourishment, they will 

 not be checked by the drain made on the soil by 

 the roots of the sweet peas. 



Grow nasturtium seeds for sprinkling among 

 pickles when putting them up for the winter. The 

 leaves of the nasturtium among the pickles will 

 give them a nice green color and a very pleasant 

 flavor. 



Nemophila 



Among the flowers which have a long blossoming 

 season is the nemophila. All species may be pro- 

 pagated from seed, though plants will form from 

 cuttings. Seed should be sown in the garden in 

 April where the plants are to stand, and for early 

 blooming planted again in August and transplanted 

 late in the autumn into pots. 



The nemophila loves a rich, moist loam with some 

 shade. The strong sunlight will wither and parch 

 the leaves and kill the tender young buds of flowers. 

 As a cut flower for small vases, the nemophila is 

 most satisfactory.
