HASTINGS’ MIXED NASTURTIUMS 
These may be termed everybody’s flower. No flower garden is complete without them. Per¬ 
fectly 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 leaves are well out on the trees, scatter¬ 
ing 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 Nasturtium spe¬ 
cialists 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 to be had. Nasturtiums are as easily grown as any other flower and the 
dwarf varieties make the most I)eautiful beds, borders, edging, and porch boxes, while the tall 
varieties are unsurpassed to cover stumps, flower stands, low fences, and unsightly places. It is 
doul)tful if among the plants classed as Annuals there is any other of the summer blooming va¬ 
rieties 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 general excellence as the Nas¬ 
turtiums. More and larger flowers are produced on thin soils, very rich soil tending to make 
rank leaf growth. Hot weather has no injurious effect.
