JYasturtium, ^^arf. 



-( Tropceolvm.) 



Na.stiirtinm. 



All colors, fine mixed. 



(a) One of the most satisfac- 

 tory 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 increase 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. The)- 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.
