DWARF NASTURTIUMS, Schell’s Quality Mixture. The 
dwarf varieties grow only a foot high. The plants are cov¬ 
ered with the beautiful blooms continuously. This is one of 
the most satisfactory summer flowers to grow that I know of. 
As a border or in solid mass they make a most magnificent 
sight. The more flowers you cut off the more come on, and 
the stems being long makes them very valuable for bou¬ 
quets. Pkt. 5 cts.; oz. 15 cts.; Xlb. 50 cts.; lb. J1.50.

is one of the most graceful for cutting and keeps well a 
long time after being cut. They bloom during May and June 
and then again in the fall. Plants grow about 2 feet high.

New GLEAM” Nasturtium 
This new Double Sweet-scented Dwarf Nastur¬

itself an amazing popularity in both America and 
Europe. Every lover of flowers should plant some 
of this new beauty. It is unsurpassed for bedding, 
the neat plants, covered with a mass of large golden 
yellow flowers on stiff, 6-inch stems, producing a 
blaze of color in the garden. The plants send out short 
runners bearing flowers, too, making it fine for win¬ 
dow-boxes. It is an excellent cut-flower, with a delightful 
fragrance, also a splendid pot-plant. The runners can 
be pinched back as soon as they appear, and a rounded 
mass of golden flowers will be the result—truly an all¬ 
round plant. Pkt. 10 cts.; V 20 Z. 20 cts.; oz. 35 cts.;
