Nasturtium Bodger’s Double. 
Sweet Scented Scarlet Gleam 
No. 503—NICKELTYPES $14.00 
Scarlet Gleam when grown in a large block has been likened to a huge 
fiery carpet spread over the ground. It is in fact the most intensely dazzling 
color one could imagine in a flower, even more showy than the vivid golden 
yellow of Golden Gleam. Similar in habit of growth, the type of doubleness 
found in the individual flowers is somewhat different from that known in 
the popular Golden Gleam. While Golden Gleam derives its effect of 
doubleness from petals which are markedly wrinkled, almost fluted, Scarlet 
Gleam is more or less plain petaled and deeper throated, although the indi¬ 
vidual petals are at least twice the size of ordinary Nasturtiums. The 
doubleness is caused by an overlapping of small petals toward the center. 
When grown under unfavorable conditions, therefore, the throat has a 
tendency to show, and the flowers appear but semi-double. When well 
grown, the general effect is that of complete doubleness. For cutting or 
garden use Scarlet Gleam has but few equals.
