FERRY & GO'S DESCRIPTIVE CATALOGUE 



Nasturtium 



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

 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 weU 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.
