NASTURTIUM. 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. 
DWARF NASTURTIUM.
