Dwarf or Tom Thumb Nasturtiums

 rather dry soil, which disposes to less and smaller foliage and more 

 bloom. Rich ground will produce a very strong growth, tending to 

 throw the flowering season quite late. Their value for cut-flowers is 

 one of their chief merits. The new variegated forms are very pretty.
