NASTURTIUM (Tropaeolum) [hhA] When some visitor, 

 returning from Peru, introduced Nasturtiums to gardeners 

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

 foromost 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 

 always be used with the blossoms in bouquets. With the 

 exception of blue, the color range is complete. 



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

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

 duces flowers of better form and larger than the common tall 

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

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

Golden Gleam [3 ft.] This was the first double 

 or semi-double Nasturtium to come 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 aston- 

 ished at the wealth of blossoms the plants 

 produce. Several thousand from one packet 

 of seed have been reported by some of our

N EM ESI A [hA] This is an excellent edging plant, not so 

 well known nor so generally used as it should be. The 

 bushy plants are symmetrical 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 contrast- 

 ing 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.

 blossoms are often beautifully spotted. The colors are 



chiefly in warm tones of red, yellow, and orange
