The World's Choicest Nasturtiums 



Tall Nasturtiums ha 



Terra-cotta yellow, 



Tropaolum majus 



The Nasturtiums deserve every bit of 

 their immense popularity, for they will 

 grow anywhere and produce an amazing 

 quantity of brightly colored flowers for 

 cutting. The tall or trailing varieties 

 grow quickly and are most useful for 

 screening unsightly fences and quickly 

 covering waste spots. Gorgeous solid ef- 

 fects can bo obtained by planting the 

 named varieties. The seed may be sown 

 in the open ground as soon as the soil can 

 be put in shape for planting. They will 

 commence to bloom in June and continue 

 to bloom profusely until hard frost, if 

 the Bowers are kept cut. Growth 6 to 8 

 or 10 feet.
