FLOWER SEEDS 
Dreer’s Superb Nasturtiums 6 « 
Nasturtiums are natives of Peru and they have been cultivated 
since the latter part of the seventeenth century. They are available 
in a number of very interesting types with the new Double Sweet- 
Scented Nasturtiums being the latest and perhaps the finest 
addition. The Tall or Climbing varieties are vigorous growers 
with runners of moderate length. They may be used for large 
beds and are splendid where wire fences are used to support them. 
The dwarf or bedding varieties are of compact, rounded growth. 
They are ideal for beds and borders. Both of these types will 
yield an abundance of cut flowers that will last a long time in 
water. They do well in full sun or in semi-shade from seed sown 
after danger of frost right where the plants are to bloom. For 
early flowering they may be started indoors in April sowing 3 to 
4 seeds to a pot. 
The New Double 
Sweet Scented Nasturtiums 
Though double Nasturtiums are not new it was not until the 
introduction of Golden Gleam that they could be reproduced 
from seed as the old double kinds did not produce seeds and 
had to be increased by cuttings. If these new kinds could 
boast only of doubleness they would represent a most desirable 
improvement but they also have an exquisite sweet fragrance 
quite different and by far more pleasing than the pungent 
odor of the ordinary kinds. Golden Gleam was the first in 
this type and this year we are offering for the first time the 
new Scarlet Gleam and Glorious Gleam Hybrids as offered 
below. 
Nasturtium, Golden Gleam 
3285 Golden Gleam 
Tf there ever was a new flower that took the entire gardening 
world by storm it surely is the new Double Sweet-Scented 
Nasturtium Golden Gleam. It is a vigorous grower of bushy 
habit producing a few short runners which are thickly studded 
with long-stemmed, double blooms of a most intense but 
pleasing gleaming gold. It has proved its value for garden 
display and for cutting. Pkt. 10c; 3 oz. 25c; oz. 40c; 3 Ib. $1.25. 
3277 Scarlet Gleam—New 
This is a new origination by the same California plant 
breeder who perfected and introduced Golden Gleam. A bed 
of it is like a carpet of fire—so dazzling, so rich, so impressive. 
Scarlet Gleam is more or less plain petalled and deeper throated 
than Golden Gleam but its doubleness is caused by the over- 
lapping of small petals toward the center which, if well grown, 
give a perfectly double flower. A real marvel for the garden 
and for cutting. Pkt. 25c; 5 pkts. $1.00. 
3280 Glorious Gleam Hybrids—New 
This also is entirely new this year and comes from the same 
breeding ground as the above. A fine, large flowered, sweet- 
scented strain with flowers as double as Golden Gleam and of 
the same compact habit with short runners. Splendid long 
stems. Includes brilliant shades of salmon, golden yellow, 
orange-scarlet, cerise, creamy yellow, orange, maroon, crimson, 
and many spotted varieties. Pkt. 25c; + oz. 60c; oz. $2.00.
