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 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 siicli brilliant range of 
sha<les and <'Olors 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 to be had. 
Nasturtiums are as easily grown as any other flower and the dwarf va¬ 
rieties make the most beautiful beds, borders, edging, and porch boxes, 
while the tall varieties are unsurpassed to cover stumps, flow’er 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 from early summer until killed by 
frost, and general excellence as the Nasturtiums. More and larger flowers are pro¬ 
duced on thin soils, very rich soil tending to make rank leaf gtowth. Hot weather 
has no injurious effect.

DpTUMIAC Petunias are very popular in the South; easily grown, and make 
■ most beautiful beds of showy colors. No garden is complete without 
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 
always 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 grown show up much better than in spring.

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 W’idest range of color and shape. 
Sow very early, as seed 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 
w’here they are to remain as they need no transplanting.

make wonderful beds and borders. California, the famous
