LANDRETHS' NASTURTIUMS. 
♦ ♦ . 11 \/at^ieties» * ♦ 
Whether in country or town no flower garden, lawn or front yard should be without a bed 
or mass large enough to be strikingly effective, or a well-made ribbon of Nasturtiums ; for 
with the exception of the Sweet Pea, of modern introduction, no half-hardy annual 
approaches the Nasturtium in brilliant effect when shown in mass. No one, after gi'/ing 
space to a large bed of good varieties, will ever again be without this most gorgeous addition 
to the garden. 
The new sorts of Nasturtium should not be confounded with the old-fashioned garden 
Nasturtium, for the new varieties are surpassingly beautiful. The flowers, borne profusely, 
of a wide range of shade and combination — the foliage differing in all, tones of green, 
designate the Nasturtium as a first-class bedding plant, indispensable in every ornamental 
plot of land. The Nasturtium does best when exposed to the full glare of the sun. 
The Nasturtium will flotirish on almost any soil, indeed often best on poor soil, as on rich 
land there is a tendency to run too much to foliage. It will flourish under prolonged drouth 
and continue to flower till killed by frost. The plant will be found proof again.st insect 
depredations ; its acrid juice seeming to prevent the attack of insects defsfroying other orna- 
mental plants in the garden. The young shoots taste like water cress, wluch, hotanically, is 
the true Nasturtium. ' * ' ' 
The tall varieties may be planted with good effect upon rock-work, against fences or 
trellises. There are no annual climbing plants more showy, and in addition they are strictly 
reliable, for even on poor soil they will reach to a height of ten feet by Autumn. For pur- 
poses of effective display the seed must be sown in quantity, five to six ounces being required 
to furnish plants enough to cover a bed ten feet in diameter. 
The seeds may be started under a glass, in an cut-door bed or in permanent positions ; in 
which case the plants should be planted about six inches apart. A skillful gardener growing 
the plants in a greenhouse can multiply the plants to any extent by cuttings from the hali- 
ripened wood, which roots Ireely in sand. Tall and Dwarf Nasturtiums should never be 
planted in the same bed.
