FLOWER SEEDS 



Dwarf or Tom Thumb Nasturtiums 



Dwarf or Tom Thumb Nasturtiums 



Most excellent bedding plants, that seem to thrive best in a poor, 

 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 the result of 

 great care in selection.

PANSIES (Heartsease) hp 



Pansies, while preferring a light, rich soil and a partially shady, 

 cool and moist situation, producing, under such ideal conditions, large 

 magnificently colored flowers, will nevertheless thrive under less favor- 

 able surroundings. In fact, almost any soil and situation will give 

 good returns. If planted in full sun exposure, mulch beds during the 

 hot term and water freely; the delicate tints may be partially neu- 

 tralized, and flowers will not attain full size, yet a very rich and con- 

 tinuous display may be had which in fall will almost equal the early 

 spring show. Faded flowers must be removed every few days to 

 prevent seeding. Seed may be sown from July to September, and 

 these plants, protected over winter, will flower early in spring and 

 continue throughout the season. Spring-sown seed will flower from 

 summer to fall. We offer a very complete collection of varieties and 

 strains embracing "All That's Good in Pansies."
