Nasturtium 
Few plants are more easily grown or remain longer in bloom than the Tropctolum , 
with its large shield-shaped leaves and beautifully irregular Mowers having long 
spurs and brilliantly colored petals. In favorable soil Mowers are produced in 
abundance throughout the season. Much used for window boxes. Nasturtiums 
are usually free from insects of any kind. 
Seed is usually sown outdoors, as soon as the weather is warm and settled, in the row where the plants are to remain. 
Well pulverized soil, perferably well drained and moderately rich, should be used and the seed covered with about one inch of Mne 
soil firmly pressed down. A sunny situation is essential for free blooming. If the soil is very rich the plants give a large amount 
of foliage but few Mowers. For earlier blooming, start indoors and transplant to the open ground after danger of frost is over.
