NASTURTIUM GOLDEN GLEAM 



3012 This is destined to be very popular because it comes true fro'n seed. Dou- 

 ble Nasturtiums hitherto introduced could not be reproduced from seed and 

 stocks had to be increased by cuttings. Golden Gleam grows freely from seed. 

 It is delightfully sweet scented and a bouquet of the flowers will soon fill a 

 room with fragrance. Excellent when grown as a pot plant for the window box 

 trade. (See illustration.) Pkt., lOc; Per oz., 20c.; Per lb., $1.50.
