GIANT- FLOWERING 



C LIMBING N ASTURTIUMS. 



A new section obtained by a French specialist by hybridizing, 

 and distinguished 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 marvelous quantities of bloom, borne in 

 uninterrupted splendor from early summer until cut down by 

 frost. Their ease of culture and rapid'ty 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 wonderful amount of blossoms all summer long t 

 till the last were frozen on the vines. The size of flowers and magnif- 

 icent coloring were the wonder of all our friends. Nothing could 

 have been more satisfactory."

TOM THUMB NASTURTIUMS. 



These Grand Bedding Nasturtiums have been developed 

 through years of careful hybridization, culture and selection under 

 conditions thoroughly congenial to the highest development of 

 this popular garden annual. Not only have the flowers increased 

 wonderfully in size, often measuring three inches across, but a 

 great variety of new and charming combinations of colors has 

 been produced, 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 perfect 

 mounds about one foot high by one foot across. Seed sown in 

 the open ground in the spring will produce plants that com- 

 mence blooming during earlv summer and continue until frost.
