WERE we asked to name the three most popular flowers grown from seed, we should unhesitatingly answer 

 "Nasturtiums, Tansies and Sweet Teas." No plant grown from seed yields a larger number of blossoms 

 than the Nasturtium. They are constantly in bloom; the more they are picked the more freely do they bloom; 

 so keep the flowers picked eucli day uud your home will present an inviting appearance and your garden u joyous sight.
