Dwarf or Tom Thumb (Indian Cress) 



Most excellent bedding plants, so popular 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 

 dowers 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.
