WM. C. BECKERT, PITTSBURG, PA. • SELECT FLOWER SEEDS 



NASTURTIUMS 



TALL {Tropaeolum Majus) HHA 



These popular flowering plants thrive in 

 a poor, dry soil, making a quick growth, and 

 are very useful for screening or quickly 

 covering waste spots, etc. The colors are 

 nigh indescribable. Some of the newer 

 varieties present most gorgeous colors. The 

 variegated section will also be found elegant, 

 in some the foliage having gold, in others 

 silver variegation; being very ornamental, 

 even before the beautiful contrast with 

 flowers is presented. The flowers are 

 highly prized for cutting, possessing a dis- 

 tinct penetrating aromatic odor that is 

 very agreeable and refreshing. Grows 6 

 to 8 or 10 ft.

DWARF, or TOM THUMB 



(Indian Cress) 



Most excellent bedding plants, so pop- 

 ular that they need but a word in their 

 behalf. They seem to thrive best in a poor, 

 rather dry soil, which disposes to less and 

 smaller foliage and more bloom, while the 

 flowers are seen to better advantage. Rich 

 ground will produce a very strong growth, 

 tending to throw the flowering season 

 quite late. Their value for cut-flowers is one of their chief merits, 

 the spiciness of the odor being evidently agreeable to all. The new 

 variegated forms are the result of great care in selection and are 

 worthy of trial.
