NASTURTIUM. 



These will always be valuable summer-flowering plants, 

 for the reason that they stand any amount of heat and 

 drought, growing vigorously and flowering freely, no 

 matter how high the thermometer may record. They 

 flower better, however, in a poor, rocky soil, as a rich 

 one has a tendency to make them "run to leaf." The 

 "Tom Thumb" varieties are splendid bedding sorts.
