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 produce the best results, for in rich soils they 

 show a tendency to run to leaf. Nothing can equal the tall 

 varieties for covering fences, verandas or unsightly outhouses. 

 By pegging down the stems of the tall growing sorts to the 

 ground or by using dwarf varieties a handsome bed can be had. 

 They flower profusely, living an immense blaze of color, which 

 greatly tends to heighten the appearance of the garden.
