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 ordi- 

 nary conditions of cul- 

 ture. Light or gravelly 

 soils produce the best re- 

 sults, for in rich soils they 

 show a tendency to run to 

 leaf. Nothing can equal 

 the tall varieties for cover- 

 ing fences, verandas or I 

 unsightly outhouses.] 

 They flower profusely, 

 giving an immense blaze I 

 of color, which greatly 

 tends to heighten the ap- 

 pearance of the garden. 



Lobb's Nasturtium— 

 (Tropseolum Lobianum) — 

 Very beautiful climbers, 

 flowering most profusely; 

 very useful for covering 

 verandas, trellis, and 

 rustic work. The leaves and flowers 

 are smaller than the tall Nasturtiums, 

 but their brilliancy and richness of 

 color, combined with the profusion of their bloom, 

 render them more fitting for vases, rock work, etc.

Climbing Hybrids of Madame Ounter— We have 

 no hesitation in saying that this class of Nastur- 

 ■ tiums are well worthy of a place in every garden. They can either be used to cover 

 trellises or rock work, or by pegging down the shoots a very handsome bed can be 

 had from them. In this variety we have a range of color hitherto unknown in Nas- 

 turtiums, running through shades of rose, salmon, bright red, pale yellow, etc., either 

 as self-colors or spotted and striped. The dark colored foliage contrasts finely with 

 the rich and varied colors. Pkt., 5 cts.; peroz., 15 cts.; J4 lb., 40 cts.
