NASTURTIUMS 



A marvelous range of new colors has been developed 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 seed 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 possi- 

 ble disintegrated rock, is the best soil, as this produces the maximum of bloom. Soils in which manure has been used heavily causes the 

 plant to produce a heavy growth of leaves at the expense of blossoms. They are also in such soils apt to rot off in wet weather, especially 

 if the plants have been left standing close to one another. You cannot have too many Nasturtiums. Plant them along fences, hedges, or 

 wherever it is desired to have a bunch of bright color. 



Tall, or Climbing Nasturtiums 



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.

New Variegated-leaved 

 Nasturtiums 



The leaves of these new Hybrid Nasturtiums do not 

 grow so large as the common flowering Nasturtiums, 

 but they present a most beautiful appearance, every 

 leaf being variegated with white, green and yellow 

 colors, but each leaf seems to differ from another so 

 the plant presents a most varied aspect. Most of the leaves are 14 

 to % white and yellow, others are mostly green but blotched and 

 striped with yellow and white, others are mostly pure yellow with 

 stripes of green. The flowers are large and full and of various col- 

 ors from pale yellow to the deepest maroon.
