NASTURTIUMS 



A marvelous range of new colors has been developed in this favorite flower, which is in constant bloom throughout the season, and if 

 thesf- 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 expanse of blossoms. They are also in such soils apt to rot oft 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 wher- 

 ever 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 fur hanging baskets and vases.
