Mrs. Shepherd’s Climbing Giant Nasturtiums. 
The first giant Nasturtiums ever offered were originated by Mrs. Shepherd and introduced by 
W. Atlee Burpee, the well known seedsman of Philadelphia. These were Sunlight, Moonlight, 
- Caprice, Butterfly and Twilight, which are still offered now as the finest varieties in existence. 
Mrs. Shepherd considers her Jup- 
iter, Cream Cup and Saturn improve- 
ments even on these superb varieties. 
The mixture from these giant flowers, 
with the other new ones that followed, 
is grand beyond description. 
Cream Cup—A lovely variety ; 
a fitting companion to Jupiter, of 
which it is the counterpart except that 
its color is cream, almost white. The 
flowers are 234 to 3 inches across, and 
are crumpled and crepe like. They 
are fine for cutting and especially 
effective for bowls or vases, either 
alone or used with golden Jupiter. 
The new giants have larger flowers 
than any varieties ever before 
offered. 15c¢ pkt. 
Jupiter—This superb Nasturtium 
attracts instant attention by the 
great size and the exquisite form and 
rich color of the flowers. It is the 
largest Nasturtium that has ever yet 
MRS he Gen Cr ee, ‘s ¥ been offered. The flowers measure 
: ; aa STURTIUM “JUPITER.’’ 314 to 314 inches in diameter, the 
petals 114 inches across. When the blossoms first unfold they have a most beautiful crinkled, 
crepe-like look, that is very attractive, and when well opened they retain much of the crepe-like 
effect. The petals overlap and the flowers are exquisitely formed. The color is a splendid rich 
brilliant yellow. They are very effective for vases, keeping for several days in water. 10c pkt. 
Saturn—A fitting companion and a fine contrast to the beautiful crinkled flower of Jupiter, 
a variety with large round smooth petals in shades of brightest tawny red, like rich 
velvet. The two upper petals are almost black at their base, the calyx bright yellow, which 
brings the dark gleaming red and black into fine relief. Both of the above are fine for, cutting. 
10c pkt. ; 
Caprice —A beautiful capricious variety that comes variously marked or marbled at different 
times, yellow overlaid with blendings of deep velvety reddish brown, and again dark marked 
with yellow, rarely two flowers alike. 10c¢ pkt. 
Butterfly—A charming golden yellow, marked with palmate flushes of terra cotta on the 
three lower petals, while the rich red markings on the two upper petals resemble a peacock 
feather in its form and lines. 10e pkt. 
Twilight—One of the most beautiful varieties, coming at first almost clear, salmon pink 
overlaid with yellow, changing with age to lighter shades, pink and yellow, suggesting the twi- 
light colors of the skies. 10c¢ pkt. 7

ers variously colored with tawny, coppery shades. 10¢ pkt.
