 the common running nasturtium, in being less rank growing, 

 more floriferous, and having richer, more varied colored flow- 

 ers of many shades, from the richest scarlet to very deep 

 maroon. Fine for covering arbors, trellises and rustic work. 

 Half hardy annual; about ten feet high.

 hardy annual Pkt. 5cts 



When a plant of this novel sort is in full bloom, one can find 

 upon it flowers of almost every shade of color and form of 

 marking known to nasturtiiuns. No matter what color a flower 

 may be when it opens, it is continually changing until it fades. 

 Unlike many flowers which are notable because curious, those 

 of the Chameleon Nasturtium are always beautiful and at- 

 tractive.
