NASTURTIUMS 



TOM THUMB, OR DWARF VARIETIES 



A marvelous range of new colors has been developed in this favorite flower, which for three or four 

 months of the season makes a better display than almost any ether plant. No other annual will produce 

 such a lavish profusion of flowers for so long a time with the same small outlay of time and tabor. The 

 maximum of bloom is produced in thin soils, and never flags through the hottest weather. In soils too 

 rich leaves predominate, and the plants are apt to rot off in wet weather, especially if standing too close. 

 Plant the seeds an inch deep, and thin seedlings to 10 or 12 inches apart.
