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 pllinted in a poor soil, and remain in bloom for a long 

 time; stand heat and drought without the slightest effect. The 

 seed, if picked young, is an excellent substitute for capers. 

 Hartly annual.
