flowing habit. Seed can be sown thinly in shallow drills when trees 
are starting out in leaf,or the young plants may be started in 
boxes of light earth in the sunny window ot a Warm room and set 
in the flower bed when danger of frost is over, thus producing 
flowers early in the summer. This Dwarf French class forms ball- 
like bushes twelve to fifteen inches in height, with tinely cut fern- 
like foliage of deepest green.

Nasturtium, Jwarf—(rreraorm.) 
One of the most satisfactory 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 sizeand colorof the flowers. 
They runthe entire gamut of colors 
from white to black, and some of the 
\§ combinations are most beautiful. One 
3 great advantage they have is that the 
) oftener the tlowers are plucked the 
S more profusely will they bloom. All

distinct, one producing numerous small flowers, 
and the other, the Grandiflora section, bearing

| satisfaction. They are very hardy, free-flowering, and bloom from 
June until frost.
