DREER'S SUPERB NASTURTIUMS 



For ease of culture, duration of bloom, brilliancy of coloring and general excellence, nothing excels Nasturtiums. All they need is 

 a moderately good soil in a well-drained, sunny position, and from within a few weeks from the time they are sown until hard frost comes 

 there is an endless profusion of their gorgeous blossoms. The varieties offered below were selected, after exhaustive trials, from a very

Double Sweet Scented 

 Nasturtium 



3285 Golden Gleam. A sensational novelty in Nasturtiums 

 inasmuch as it is the first double flowering variety to be 

 successfully grown from seeds. 



The plant forms a vigorous, large bush which throws out 

 short runners, averaging eighteen inches. The large, golden- 

 yellow flowers average two and one-half to three inches 

 across. They are borne on erect, stiff stems six inches in 

 length. 



An ordinary sized bouquet, when allowed to remain in a 

 room for a short period of time will fill the room with fra- 

 grance. For full description and illustration refer to page 49. 

 15 cts. per pkt.; £ oz., 75 cts.; 1 oz., $1.25.
