Tall Morning Glories.— (See Climbers.) 



DWARF NASTURTIUM.-*^"'— > 



(a) One of the most satis- 

 factory flowers in the whole list 

 to grow, for they will thrive in 

 any situation and in any kind of 

 soil; in fact, the poorer the soil 

 the more profusely will they 

 bloom, as rich soil tends to in- 

 crease the growth of the foliage 

 rather than that of the flowers. 

 Great improvement has been made 

 of late in the size and color of the 

 flowers. They run the entire 

 gamut of colors from white to 

 black, and some of the combina- 

 tions are most beautiful. One 

 great advantage they have is that 

 the oftener the flowers are plucked 

 the more profusely will they bloom. Packet, 5c.; oz., 15c.
