NeW Nasturtium}, 
This lovely Nasturtium is new this year, and like the 
climbing variety except it is a dwarf. It bears large blos¬ 
soms in abundance, some of which will be yellow, some 
crimson, some rose, and others beautifully mottled and 
variegated. Splendid for windows and pots as well as for 
the garden. It is a superb Novelty.10 & 20

Hew Giagt Flowered Dwarf Tom THiimb. 
Of all Nasturtiums this new strain 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 combi¬ 
nations, 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 foli¬ 
age, and bloom with wonderful profusion all summer long. 
For pot culture, especially for winter blooming, they are 
superb, and rival in beauty the choicest plants in any col¬ 
lection. Planted at any time during winter or spring they 
will bloom in a few weeks, and are certainly unsurpassed 
for window plants. For the garden sow in open ground 
about corn planting time in the spring. We offer in this 
strain a mixture of over 40 different colors and combi¬ 
nations.10 & 20
