Nasturtiums 
For ease of culture, duration of bloom, 
brilliancy of coloring and general ex¬ 
cellence, nothing excels Nasturtiums. 
All they need is a moderately good soil 
in a well-drained, sunny position, and 
within a few weeks from the time they 
are sown, until hard frost comes, 
there is an endless profusion of their 
gorgeous blossoms. No annual will 
produce such a lavish amount of flow¬ 
ers for so long a time with the same 
small outlay of time and labor. The 
maximum of bloom is produced in 
light or sandy soil and seldom dimin¬ 
ishes through the hot weather. It is 
best to pick the blossoms almost daily. 
Dwarf varieties grow to a height of 
12 to 15 inches; the tall, 6 to 10 feet. 
Nasturtiums can be had in separate 
colors or in all colors mixed, both in 
the dwarf or tall varieties.

Sweet Scented 
Double Nasturtium 
Bodger’s Golden Gleam. The plant 
forms a vigorous, large bush which 
throws out short runners, averag¬ 
ing 18 inches. The large, golden- 
yellow flowers average two and 
one-half to three inches across. 
They are borne on erect stiff stems 
six inches in length. When well- 
grown these flowers have the ap¬ 
pearance of a fully double flower, 
and are most attractive. An ordi¬ 
nary sized bouquet when allowed 
to remain in a room for a short 
period of time will All the room 
with fragrance. Pkt. 10c. 
Nasturtiums 
Oenothera {Evening Primrose) 
They are among our most beautiful 
annuals for garden beds, rockeries and 
borders. Of branching form, 1 to 2 
feet high, they produce continuously 
large single Poppy-like flowers of rose, 
yellow, white, etc. Blossoms open 
towards evening and last well into the 
next day. They are of easy culture 
but like a sunny location.

early. Very effective for edgings, also 
a charming pot-plant.

Pansies 
No flower is so well known and loved 
as the pansy. Its marvelous variety 
of colors is always a source of won¬ 
der. Planted in a shady situation and 
given plenty of moisture and fertilizer 
it will respond marvelously. Pick 
faded blooms so they do not go to seed. 
PANSY CULTURE. The seed may be 
sown indoors in February or March; 
or in Spring in the open ground, in a 
shady, cool spot where the plant can 
be protected from the strong mid-day 
sun. Cover the seed very lightly with 
flne soil and press in with a board. 
The soil should be very rich, and lib¬ 
eral applications of bone meal should 
be given from time to time. The seed 
will be up in about 10 to 15 days. 
Pansies should be classed more as a 
biennial and fresh seed sown every 
year. Seed sown in the garden in Aug¬ 
ust and September will winter over 
with little protection and start bloom¬ 
ing early in spring. 
Pansies should be in every garden.

pansies, grown in America by the

tionally high grade stock. Pkt. 15c.

Plant. Bloom All Summer. 
Petunias 
The Petunia is peerless among annuals 
for effective summer bedding or win¬ 
dow boxes. It is of easy culture. 
Blossom early and continues until 
heavy frost. No other flower produces 
a greater diversity of color, or retains 
its freshness for so long a period. The 
double varieties may be perpetuated by 
cuttings in late summer, or winter 
house plants. They require rich soil 
and a sunny location.

Poppies 
Sow as early In the spring as possible, 
where the plants are to remain, as 
they will not bOjar transplanting. Be 
sure to thin out plants as they come 
up, to 4 to 6 inches apart. Sow at 
intervals to keep up a succession of 
bloom. As cut flowers they are short 
lived, but if their stems are dipped in 
boiling water for Just one moment 
when cutting they will last much 
longer. Height, 16 to 20 inches.

is a charming strain of poppies, mostly 
single, but occasionally semi-double, 
flowers ranging from snow-white 
through all the delicate tints of pink.
