Flowers with Unusual Fragrance 



The brilliant yellow of Golden Gleam is especially el 

 combined with Ageratum and Sweet Alyssum 



NASTURTIUIVI (Tropaeolum) [hhA] When some visitor, 

 returning from Peru, introduced Nasturtiums to gardeners 

 he conferred a great blessing, for today it is one of our 

 foremost flowering plants. It starts to bloom at an early 

 stage, and for length of blossoming period it has no equal 

 providing the flowers are picked before seed is formed. The 

 odd-shaped flowers with their open throats and trailing 

 spurs are well liked for cutting. The circular leaves should 

 alwaj's be used with the blossoms in bouquets. With the 

 exception of blue, the color range is complete. 



Tall Varieties (Trailing) [5 ft.] These cUmbing or running 

 sorts are chiefly of the "Lobbianum" class which pro- 

 duces flowers of better form and larger than the common tail 

 or "Majus" varieties. They are admirably adapted to cover- 

 ing a fence or trellis or to droop over a retaining wall.

 plants of uniform stature well suited for edgings or borders.

Double Golden Gleam [3 ft.] This 

 is the only double or semi-double 

 Nasturtium that comes true from 

 seed. The fragrant golden yellow 

 blossoms, carried on long stems, 

 are attractive as cut flowers, and 

 the somewhat trailing plants are 

 ornamental in any garden You 

 will be astonished at the wealth of 

 blossoms the plants produce. Sev- 

 eral thousand from one packet of 

 seed have been reported by some 



of our customers

N E M ES I A [hA] This is an excellent 

 edging plant, not so well known 

 nor so generally used as it should 

 be. The bushy plants are sym- 

 metrical and send up countless 

 slender stalks crowned with 

 flowers. The blossoms are dainty 

 and fairy-like, something like those 

 of Schizanthus, and often the 

 lower part of the flower is of a 

 color contrasting with the upper 

 part. When in bloom, they are a riot of color. They may 

 be trimmed back as they fade, and usually they will 

 flower again the same season. 



Compacta Blue Gem [8 in.] A striking variety with clear 

 Forget-me-not blue flowers. 



Compacta Triumph Mixed [8 in.] A briUiant blend containing 

 almost every color of the spectrum from deepest red 

 through orange, yellow, and blue to dark purple. Of tidy 

 habit. 



Grandiflora Sutton! Mixed [12 in.] These plants and 

 flowers are larger than those of Compacta, and the plants 

 are slightly more spreading. The lower lobes of the 

 blossoms are often beautifully spotted. The colors are 

 chiefly in warm tones of red, yellow, and orange. 



Any one of the above: H oz. 60c; pkt. 15c 



NEMOPHILA [hA-6in.] This is a native wild flower from the 

 California woods, but it does well under almost all condi- 

 tions in other parts of the country. It is quite spreading in 

 growth. The divided leaves of the little plants are bright 

 green and hairy and are covered with saucer-shaped blos- 

 soms about an inch across. They are useful in low beds or 

 as a ground cover in patches. Seed should be sown in the 

 open ground where the plants are to remain. 



Insignia Blue (Baby Blue Eyes) A beautiful sky blue, 

 shading hghter toward the center. . . . >2 oz. 30c; pkt. 10c
