NASTURTIUMS. 



These are without doubt the most admired of any of our summer 

 flowering- plants, and succeed well in any good garden soil, even under 

 the most ordinary conditions of culture. Light or gravelly soils pro- 

 duce the best results, for in rich soils they show a tendency to run to 

 leaf. Nothing can equal the tall varieties for covering fences, veran- 

 das or unsightly outhouses, or by pegging down the stems to the 

 ground a handsome bed can be had. They flower profusely, giving an 

 immense blaze of color, which greatly tends to heighten the appear- 

 ance of the garden. 



NEW GIANT CLIMBING NASTURTIUMS. 



A new class of superb Nasturtiums, remarkable for their immense 

 size, flowers often measuring 3 to 3% inches across; of exquisite form 

 and many rich and varied colors. They are strong growers and re- 

 markably free flowering.
