The World's Choicest Nasturtiums 



Tall Nasturtiums 



Tropaeolum majus 



These popular flowering plants thrive 

 in a poor, dry soil, making a quick 

 growth, and are very useful for screen- 

 ing or quickly covering waste spots, etc. 

 The colors are well-nigh indescribable. 

 Some of the newer varieties present most 

 gorgeous combinations. The variegated 

 section will also be found elegant, in 

 some the foliage having gold, in others 

 silver, variegation, being very orna- 

 mental, even before the beautiful con- 

 trast with (lowers is presented. Growth 

 6 to 8 or 10 feet.

Tall 



Tropaeolum majus nanum 



Most excellent bedding plants, that 

 seem to thrive best in a poor, rather dry 

 soil, which disposes to less and smaller fol- 

 iage 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 the result of great care in selection.
