Nasturtium 



Few plants are more easily grown or remain longer in bloom than the Troj)ceolum, 

 with its large shield-shaped leaves and betutiiully irregular flowers having long 

 spurs and brilliantly colored petals. In favorable soil flowers are produced in 

 abundance throughout the season. 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, perferably 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. Much used for window boxes. Nasturtiums are usually free from insects of any kind.
