Hastings’ Special Slixed Nasturtiums 
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.
