GIANTFLOWERING 



CLIMBING NASTURTIUMS. 



A new section obtained by a French specialist by hybridizing, and distin- 

 guished by flowers of a large size and a richness and variety of coloring not 

 to be found in Nasturtiums heretofore grown. There have already been 

 produced twenty-two different colors or combinations of colors in these new 

 hybrids, including various shades of rose, salmon, bright red, pale yellow, etc., 

 either self-colored or spotted, mottled, striped, and margined. 



For covering trellises, fences, arbors, piazzas, trailing from vases, over 

 rockwork, etc., nothing can equal the gorgeous effect produced by their mar- 

 velous quantities of bloom, borne in uninterrupted splendor from early 

 summer until cut down by frost. Their ease of culture and rapidity of luxuriant 

 growth, 12 to 15 feet high, render them worthy of great popularity.

"Please send me your best mixed Nasturtium seed, the large kind, Giant- 

 Flowering. I had this same kind last year, and they produced the most wonder- 

 ful amount of blossoms all summer long, till the last were frozen on the vines. 

 The size of flowers and magnificent coloring were the wonder of all our friends. 

 Nothing could have been more satisfactory."

These Grand Bedding Nasturtiums have flowers often 

 measuring three inches across, in a great variety of new and 

 charming combinations of colors, while the brilliancy and velvety 

 richness of the self-colored sorts have been greatly enhanced. For 

 summer flower-beds nothing can surpass them ; the plants form

 sown in the open ground in the spring will produce plants that 

 commence blooming during early summer and continue until frost.
