Nasturtium 



A marvelous range of new colors has been devel- 

 oped in this favorite flower, which is in constant 

 bloom throughout the season, and if these are kept 

 well picked so that the plant cannot produce seed 

 they will continue to flower until frost. No other 

 annual flower will produce such a lavish profusion 

 of bloom for so long a time and with the same small 

 outlay of care and attention. Thin, poor soil, if 

 possible disintegrated rock, is the best soil, as this 

 produces the maximum of bloom. 



TALL or CLIMBING 



Besides their ordinary garden use for trailing 

 over fences, trellises, stone walls, etc., these can 

 also be grown as pot-plants for winter flowering, as 

 screens, or as trailers for hanging baskets and 

 vases. 



STOKES' STANDARD TALL MIXED, or 

 CLIMBING NASTURTIUMS. This mbcture is 

 composed of the finest and most distinct varieties 

 grown in choice mixture, with the addition of the 

 finest named sorts, including the Lobbianum va- 

 rieties, the hybrids of Mme. Gunther, etc., and 

 it is unequaled in this class of Nasturtiums.

Following directly after the tulips, the Poppies 

 give our gardens a season of profusion of bloom

 Poppies are beautiful for cutting — taking them 

 early in the morning while the dew is still on them, 

 they will last all day in the house. Poppies are 

 difficult to transplant, so seed should be sown where 

 they are to bloom. Sow thinly, covering over 

 lightly, and thin the plants to standing a foot apart.
