CURRIE BROTHERS' HORTICULTURAL GUIDE 



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 or- 

 dinary conditions of 

 culture. Light or grav- 

 elly soils produce ihe 

 best results, for in rich 

 soils they show a ten- 

 dency to run to leaf. 

 Nothing can equal the 

 tall varieties for cover- 

 ing fences, verandas or 

 unsightly outhouses. 

 They flower profusely, 

 giving an immense blaze 

 of color, which greatly 

 tendsto heighten theap- 

 pearance of the garden. 

 Lobb's Nasturtium — 

 (Tropaeolum Loblauum) 

 —Very beautiful climb- 

 ers, flowering most pro- 

 fusely; very useful for 

 covering verandas, trel- 

 lis and rustic work. The leaves and 

 flowers are smaller than the tall Nas- 

 turtiums, but their brilliancy and rich- 

 ness of color, combined with the profusion of their 

 bloom, render them more fitting for vases, rock work, 

 etc. H. H. A. 6 ft. riixedColors— Peroz., 40cts... 5 '"'*^^,
