I^NASTURTIUMS-^ 



PERHAPS the most popular of free flowering annual plants is the Nasturtium, which is of two distinct 

 types, Tom Thumb or dwarf varieties, and the tall or climbing varieties. The latter are of strong, 

 vigorous growth, producing long shoots which can be trained to climb fences, wire netting or strings 

 prepared for the purpose. They are splendid traiUng plants for use around stumps of trees, vases or 

 rockeries. The Tom Thumb or dwarf varieties are of more compact gro\\'th, and are extremely useful for 

 bordering or in an ordinary flower bed, where they will not need supports. Both varieties are of the easiest 

 culture and will give the most satisfactory results with the least care. The Nasturtium is a prolific bloomer, 

 I)roducing in the greatest profusion immense quantities of flowers even in the poorest soil. The flowers are 

 of the most brilliant and striking colors, not only bright and showy while growing, but splendid for cutting, 

 flowers lasting well when used for this purpose. They are in bloom when the supply of other flowers from 

 the garden is not large, while for Winter blooming indoors good results may be secured by planting seeds 

 of the Climbing varieties in flower pots in September. Plant the seed when the trees are putting out leaves, 

 and when well started transplant or thin the young plants to stand 6 or 8 inches apart for chmbing sorts, 

 10 or 12 inches apart for dwarf, compact growing kinds, which will allow them to grow into rounded bushy 

 form with dense foliage, and vrill prevent any possibility of the plants rotting ofl" during the hot Summer 

 mouths. Nasturtiums require a well drained soil, that is not too heavy. When planting the seed, cover to 

 a depth of one inch or more, pressing the soil firmly around the seed.
