DREER'S SUPERB NASTURTIUMS. 



See colored plate opposite. 



For ease of culture, duration of bloom, brilliancy of coloring and general excellence nothing excels Naturtiums. 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 b!ossoms. 



The past season we tried over 75 varieties at our experimental grounds, and the collection shown on the colored plate opposite 

 and offered below were painted from nalure, and represents twelve of the finest and most distinct varieties and colorings. 



The identical colors can be had in either the Tall, or Climbing, or Dwarf, or Tom Thumb types. The former grow 5 to 6 feet 

 high, and are unexcelled for growing on fences, trellis, or trailing over rocks or rough ground, etc., while the Tom Thumbs are 

 leading subjects for beds or borders, and both are largely in demand for use in hanging-baskets, vases, window-boxes, etc., etc. 



( The numbers prefixed are the corresponding number of the variety on the plate opposite.)
