NASTURTIUMS. Plant's Superb Mixture. 
NASTURTIUM 
(Tropaeolum.) No annual has more points of merit 
or is more widely popular. Insect and disease proof. 
Nasturtiums flourish in any hind of soil and in any 
location. Sow the seed where the plants are to re- 
main, as they do not bear transplanting well. Thin 
them whenever they become crowded, never allowing 
them to touch each other at any stage of growth. It is 
also important that moisture should not stand about the 
roots; therefore, in damp locations, drainage should be 
provided or the plants set in ridges of earth. The advice 
frequently given to grow Nasturtiums in poor soil is a 
mistake. They fully appreciate good garden loam and 
will respond by furnishing much larger and finer flowers. 
Dwarf Varieties Mixed. A bed of dwarf Nastur- 
tiums in the yard is very brilliant and attractive, bloom- 
ing all the season. Hardy annual; about one foot high. 
Pkt., 5 cents. 
Tall Mixed. Selected from the largest flowers. Fine 
for covering arbors, trellises and rustic work. Half 
hardy annual; about eight feet high. Pkt., 5 cents. 
Hybrids of Madame Gunter. Flowers are striped 
or blotched with shades of red on yellow and orange 
ground, forming a combination of exceeding brilliancy 
and beauty. About four feet high. Half hardy annual. 
Pkt., 5 cents. 
PETUNIAS 
Few plants equal the Petunia for effective display. 
It begins flowering early and continues a mass of bloom 
until killed by frost. The seed, which is very fine, should 
be sown early, merely scattering it on the surface of 
the seed bed and shading until it germinates. The 
weakest seedlings usually give the richest colored 
flowers. Give Petunias good, rich garden soil and a 
sunny location. The flowers have a wide range of color 
and some are deliciously fragrant. 
Hybrida Mixed. The best bedding kinds. Pkt., 
5 cents. 
PANSY 
Pansies do best and produce the largest and finest 
flowers in cool, moist weather. The seed should there- 
fore be sown either in the early fall out of doors, or 
during February, in the house, for spring blooming. If 
sown outside in April, and the plants carried through 
the summer in a shady place, a rich autumn display will 
result. The secret of success with Pansies is to give 
them the richest possible soil and to never permit the 
soil to become dry for a moment. We offer choice of 
three superior mixtures: Fine Mixed, including all the 
different varieties; Rainbow Mixture, including all 
shades from pure white to deepest blue and black, 
and prepared specially for bedding; Large Flowering 
Mixed, an extra fine strain selected with the greatest 
care from the largest and finest flowers only. 
Fine Mixed. A great variety of colors. Pkt., 5 cents. 
Rainbow Mixture. The best sorts. Pkt., 5 cents. 
Large Flowering Mixture. Pkt., 5 cents. 
FRINGED PETUNIAS. 
Plant’s Choice Mixture of Hybrids. 
POPPIES 
Unrivalled for continuous and dazzling display of 
the brightest colors. The seed is fine as dust and should 
not be covered. Scatter on the surface, press in with 
a board and moisten until started. Sow as early as pos- 
sible and where the plants are to remain, as they will 
not stand transplanting. Will do well in any ordinary 
garden soil, but prefer a sandy loam and sunny ex- 
posure. Our Carnation Flowered kinds include all sizes, 
shapes and colors, and both single and double. Average 
height two feet. Always conspicuous and brilliant. 
Carnation Flowered. Fine double mixed. Pkt., 
5 cents. 
PHLOX DRUMMONDI 
Very beautiful free-flowering annuals of quick, com- 
pact growth. When grouped in masses the color effect 
is brilliant beyond description. They will grow even in 
poor soil, but in order to develop to the highest perfec- 
tion must have rich soil and plenty of room. Plants from 
seed sown in the open ground in fall or early spring will 
begin flowering about July 1st and be literally covered 
with bloom until autumn. They are unsurpassed for 
cutting. Height, one foot. 
Fine Mixed. White, pink, scarlet, etc. Pkt., 5 cents.
