that a six-year-old child could plant them and care for them, 
and they have every good quality of a bedding plant—c.om- 
act habit., attractive foliage, intensely bright and beautiful 
owers, borne profuselyjthe whole season, not troubled by 
insects, and standing dry weather well. Do not let seed 
form, and plant on thin soil. Per pkt.

Of all Nasturtiums this new strain, offered last year for 
the first time, and represented in colors on the cover of our 
Catalogue, is the most beautiful and useful, as well as the 
largest in size and most varied in color. The blossoms are 
simply enormous in size, and there is a marvelous range of 
colors and an infinite variety of new shades. Clear, golden 
yellow, salmon-pink, dark red, golden brown, all shades of 
yellow variegated with red and brown, canary color, terra 
cotta, orange and black, with all combinations, making a 
most brilliant showing. Some of the combinations of color 
are quite indescribable. The plants are dwarf and compact 
in habit, with large, luxuriant foliage, and bloom with 
wonderful profusion all summer long:. For pot culture, es¬ 
pecially for winter blooming, they are superb, and rival in 
beauty the choicest plants in any collection. Planted at 
any time during winter or spring they will bloom in a few 
weeks, and are certainly unsurpassed for window plants.
