CURRIE BROTHERS' HORTICULTURAL GUIDE 



Nasturtiums 



These are without doiibt 

 the most admired of any 

 of our summer floweriDg 

 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, veran- 

 das or unsightly outhous- 

 es. The.v flower profusely, 

 giving an immense blaze of 

 color which greatly tends 

 to heighten the appearance 

 of the garden. 



Lob b's Nasturtium — 

 (TropiEolum Lobianum — 

 Very beautiful climbers, 

 flowering most profusely; 

 very useful for covering 

 verandas, trellis and rus- 

 tic work. The leaves and 

 flowers are smaller than the tall Nas- 

 turtiums, but their brilliancy and rich- 

 ness of color, combined with the pro- 

 fusion of their bloom, render them more fitting foi 

 vases, rock work, etc. H. H. A. B ft. llixed Colors
