NASTURTIUM (Golden Gleam) 

 New Double, Sweet-Scented 



(Awarded & Gold Medal as one of the leading "All 

 American" varieties of flower seeds for 1933) 



3012 The ever-increasing popularity of this well-known novelty leads us to be- 

 lieve that the demand will surpass that of previous years. We feel that its 

 popularity is due in large part to the many ways in which the plant can be 

 .used. As a bedding plant it is unsurpassed. The neatly formed, vigorous 

 growing plants, covered with a mass of the large, golden yellow flowers, 

 produce a blaze of color in the garden. The flowers, borne on erect stiff, 

 6-inch stems, coupled with the great floriferousness of the plant, leave the 

 foliage practically hidden. When fully developed the plant sends out short 

 runners, also bearing numerous flowers, which add to the usefulness of the 

 plant for the window box. In the green house, plants may also be forced, 

 as sweet peas are, for early cut flower sales. The long stems lend themselves 

 admirably to cut flower use, and the sweet scented flowers impart a delight- 

 ful fragrance to the room in which they are used. 



The neat, compact habit and early appearance of flowers make Golden 

 Gleam an excellent pot plant subject. The runners can be pinched back as 

 soon as they appear, and a rounded mass of golden flowers will be the result.
