DWARF NASTURTIUM. — Continued. 
Nasturtiums, both climbing and dwarf, are of the easiest culture, and anyone desirous of having a display 
of the most brilliant flowers, without any trouble beyond sowing the seed, should select this delightful family, as 
they will give off their best efforts through the brightest of the summer, merely needing the seed-balls picked off. 
If these are permitted to mature, the beauty of the plant is soon lost. 
Although the colours of the dwarf varieties contain many, more shades and tints than the climbing section, 
both may be grown near the ground if the situation requires it, but the Climbing Nasturtium shows off its 
best features when climbing over a fence or clambering up rustic woodwork. 
Those who recollect the ordinary garden Nasturtium of “sixty years since” can best appreciate the 
immense advance we have made in the colour, habit, and beauty of these most invaluable adjuncts to every 
garden ; and we are gratified to think that the greater number of new varieties now in cultivation are the result of 
our own persistent care and attention at our Seed Farms in Essex, where in 1858 we raised and exhibited 
the Scarlet Tom Thumb variety, and received a certificate for it from the Floral Committee of the Royal 
Horticultural Society. They make the most elegant of edging plants to floral walks.
