Nasturtium 



Few plants are more easily grown or remain longer in bloom than the Tropceolum, 



with its large shield-shaped leaves and beautifully irregular flowers having long 



spurs and brilliantly colored petals. In favoi-able soil flowers are produced in 



abundance throughout the season. Much used for window boxes. Nasturtiums 



are usually free from insects of any kind. 



Seed is usually sown outdoors, as soon as the weather is warm and settled, in the row where the plants are to remain. 



Well pulverized soil, perf erably well drained and moderately rich, should be used and the seed covered with about one inch of fine 



soil firmly pressed down. A sunny situation is essential for free blooming. If the soil is very rich the plants give a large amount 



of f ohage but few flowers. For earlier blooming, start indoors and transplant to the open ground after danger of frost is over.
