Hastings’ Special Mixed Nasturtiums 
Hastings' Superb Mixed Poppies 
Gorgeous is the only word that can describe the brilliancy 
of a bed of our Superb Mixed Poppies. They contain all the 
famous varieties in the widest range of color and shape. 
Seeds germinate best when ground is cool. Scatter thinly 
and barely cover the small fine seed. When well up thin 
out to 10 inches apart. They bloom better with plenty of 
room for development. Poppies should be sown where they 
are to remain as they need no transplanting. Both single and 
double poppies are very showy flowers and make wonderful 
beds and borders. California, the famous flower state, has 
great fields of poppies along the rahroads and highways, 
the wonder of visitors as well as the admiration of Cali- 
fornians. Notice the illustration showing different types of 
these beautiful poppies on this page. Hastings’ Superb

HASTINGS' MIXED NASTURTIUMS 
These may be termed everybody’s flower. No garden is 
complete without them. Perfectly at home in all parts of 
the South ; they furnish a never failing display of brilliant 
bloom all through the season. Sow in any garden soil; 
for beds, borders or climbers, scattering the seed thinly. 
When well up thin out the tall sorts to six inches apart 
and ten inches for the dwarf varieties. Our mixture of 
Nasturtiums comes to us direct from the great Nastur- 
tium specialists of California. No such brilliant range of 
shades and colors has ever been seen before in Nasturtium 
mixtures. They please every one who plants them and are 
sure to satisfy you if you want the best there is. Nas- 
turtiums are as easily grown as any other flower and the dwarf vari- 
eties make the most beautiful beds, borders, edging, and porch boxes, 
while the tall varieties are unsurpassed to cover stumps, flower stands, 
low fences, and unsightly places. It is doubtful if among the plants 
classed as Annuals there is any other of the summer blooming varieties 
which combine in so great degree the ease of culture, beautiful flowers 
of showy colors, profusion of bloom all through the season and general 
excellence as the Nasturtiums. More and larger flowers are produced on thin soils, 
very rich soil tending to make rank leaf growth. Hot weather has no injurious 
effect and they will last right up to frost.

ties ; only large flowering varieties in this. Packet, 5c ; ounce, 15c ; % pound, 60c.

prised how well these popular flowers do when planted in late summer.

them They are hardy annuals; heat, rain, drought do not affect them. They bloom in a very 
short’ time and continue blooming to late fall. Scatter thinly and cover lightly. Petunias have 
alwavs been a popular favorite in the South and the massed bloom is mighty pleasing. So few 
flowers are grown here in the fall that those you do grow show up much better than in spring.
