Mirabilis ( No. 829 ) 
of the South. A good, old-fashioned flower of bushy habit, 
bearing hundreds of floAvers during the season, of white, 
yellow, crimson and violet colors. Some combine two or 
more of these colors in spots, flakes and splotches in such 
a manner as to give the floAvers a most bizarre effect. Sow seeds thinly 
in the open where plants are to stand. If preferred, they can be trans- 
planted. Sow after danger of frost is past. 
All Colors Mixed — Grow tAAm to three feet high, branching freely.

HASTINGS' MIXED NASTURTIUMS 
These may be termed everybody’s flower. No flower 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 good garden soil, when 
leaA^es are well out on the trees, scattering the seed thinly. When well up thin out the 
tall sorts six inches apart, and ten inches for the dwarf Amrieties. Our mixture of Nas- 
turtiums comes to us direct from the great Nasturtium specialists of California. No such 
brilliant range of shades and colors has ever been seen before in Nasturtium mixtures. 
They please every one Avho plants them and are sure to satisfy you if you want the best 
there is to be had. Nasturtiums are as easily groAvn as any other flower and the dwarf 
varieties make the most beautiful beds, borders, edging, and porch boxes, while the tall 
varieties are unsurpassed to cover stumps, floAver 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 combines in so great degree the ease of culture, beautiful 
flowers of showy colors, profusion of bloom from early summer until killed by frost, and gen- 
eral excellence as the Nasturtiums. More and large flowers are produced on thin soils, very 
rich soil tending to make rank leaf growth. Hot AA^eather has no injurious effect.

IVInnnf IniAfAV* Ipomeas (MoonfloAvers) are popular everyAvhere in the South as 
ivlWlllivvWr climbers for shade on porches, trellises and arbors. They make a rapid 
groAvth and a dense shade, protecting porches from the hot rays of the sun. They grow 20 feet 
high in good soil, branching freely, and at night and during cloudy days are covered with large 
flowers. Seeds should be planted after all danger of frost is past, where plants are to stand, 
about 10 inches apart. They can be planted earlier in pots in the house and trans- 
planted Avhen 6 inches high. The seeds are very hard, and to insure germination 
cut or file through this hard outer shell before planting. Cover one inch deep.

popular than the AA^hite. Packet, 10 cents. 
Ipomea Setosa or Brazilian Morning Glory (No. 835) — Grows 40 to 50 feet in height,
