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 favorable soil flowers are produced in 

 abundance throughout the season. Much used for window boxes. If the black aphis 

 appears spray the foliage vigorously with water. 

 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, preferably 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 foliage but few flowers. For earlier blooming, start indoors and transplant to the open ground after danger of 

 frost is over.

 U warr V arieties The plants are evenly dwarf and are often used for a border. When about two inches high, thin so 

 as to give each plant about one foot of room. Hardy annual; about one foot high.
