NASTURTIUMS. We know of no 
- flowers that are eas¬ 
ier to grow or give more general satis¬ 
faction than Nasturtiums. They will 
thrive on any soil—in fact, they seem to 
bloom most freely on soil that is only 
moderately good—and they flower all 
summer long in all kinds of weather. Sow 
the seed in April, scattering it sparingly 
so that no thinning will be required, in 
drills about an inch deep. 
Golden Gleam. Compact plants 12 to 
18 inches high, with clear, golden yellow, 
double flowers. One of the most unusual 
things among recent novelties which has 
attracted notice in every quarter. In 
addition to the remarkable doubling of 
the bloom, the flowers possess a delicate 
scent which lacks the usual coarseness of 
the Nasturtium odor. We believe this to 
be the outstanding American contribution 
to the annual list of this year. Pkt. 15 cts., 
oz. 60 cts., >£lb. $2, lb. $7. 
Dwarf Varieties, Fine Mixed Colors. 
The dwarf or “Tom Thumb” Nasturtiums 
are fine for beds and edging, any place 
where masses of color are desired. The 
plants grow 10 to 12 inches high, rounded 
and bushy, and covered with flowers from 
June until frost. The colors range from 
Straw-Yellow to Deep Orange and from 
Delicate Rose to Dark Crimson and 
Maroon, as well as Red and Yellow Bi¬ 
colors. Pkt. 5c., oz. ioc., P4lb. 30c., lb. $1. 
Tall Varieties, Fine Mixed Colors. 
The tall or climbing Nasturtiums are useful 
for covering fences and low trellises, or 
may be allowed to trail over stumps and 
rockwork. The flowers and leaves are 
larger than in the dwarf type and the colors 
are, if possible, even more varied and 
brilliant. Pkt. 5 cts., oz. 10 cts., yib. 
30 cts., lb. $1. 
NICOTIANA F ine annuals for the tall 
border, thriving best on 
a deep, rich soil. They grow about 2}4 
feet high, with large, attractive foliage at 
the base and clusters of delicately fra¬ 
grant, trumpet-shaped flowers on long 
stems. It is best to start the seed indoors 
in March as the young plants are quite 
tender, but the seed may be sown in fine 
soil outdoors after all danger from frost is 
past. Often called “Sweet-scented” or 
“Flowering Tobacco.” 
Aflfinis. A vigorous form which bears

soms that open during the early morning
