NASTURTIUM. 



The dwarf varieties of Nasturtium are among: 

 the most useful and beautiful annuals for bedding, 

 massing, etc., owing to their compact growth, 

 richness of color and profusion of bloom. The 

 tall sorts are admirably adapted for rock-work, 

 covering trellises or rustic work. They flower 

 most profusely when planted in a poor soil, and 

 remain in bloom for a long time : stand heat and 

 drought without the slightest effect. The seed, 

 if piclvcd young, is an excellent substitute for 

 capers.
