DWARF NASTURTIUMS. 



Tom Thumb Varieties, for Bedding. 



None of the old-fashioned plants deserve their renewal of popularity better than 

 the Nasturtium, so brilliant and varied in coloring, free in bloom, and picturesque 

 in appearance. Its brave and hardy habit of growth, even in hottest suns and poor 

 soils, once gave it the name of "the soldier's flower," which was well borne out by 

 the rollicking air of the climbing varieties ; but now the artists claim it, and its 

 pale green, shield-shaped leaves and vivid flowers appear on all sorts of choice bric- 

 a-brac, besides being prime favorites for cut-flower work and personal adornment. 

 The Dwarf Nasturtiums form thick masses of leaves and flowers not more than a 

 foot in height.
