CURRIE BROTHERS CO. FARM AND GARDEN ANNUAL. 



NASTURTIUMS. 



Tbese are without doubt the most admired of any of our summer flow- 

 ering plants, and succeed well in any good garden soil, even under the 

 most ordinary conditions of culture. Light or gravelly soils produce the 

 best results, for in rich soils they show a tendency to run to leaf. Nothing 

 can equal the tall varieties for covering fences, verandas or unsightly out- 

 houses, or by pegging down the stems to the ground a handsome bed can 

 be had. They flower profusely, giving an immense blaze of color, which 

 greatly tends to heighten the appearance of the garden. 



NEW GIANT CLIMBING NASTURTIUMS. 



A new class or superb Nasturtiums, remarkable for their immense 

 size, flowers often measuring 3 to 3% inches across; of exquisite form and 

 many rich and varied colors. They are strong growers and remarkably 

 free flowering.

 yellow. Oz. 20c pkt. 10

 erlaid with salmon pink, the two upper petals feathered with red in the
