Nasturtiums 
Nasturtiums 
For ease of culture, duration of bloom, 
brilliancy of coloring and general ex¬ 
cellence, nothing excels Nasturtiums. 
All they need is a moderately good soil 
in a well-drained, sunny position, and 
within a few weeks from the time they 
are sown, until hard frost comes, 
there is an endless profusion of their 
gorgeous blossoms. No annual will 
produce such a lavish amount of flow¬ 
ers for so long a time with the same 
small outlay of time and labor. The 
maximum of bloom is produced in 
light or sandy soil and seldom dimin¬ 
ishes through the hot weather. It is 
best to pick the blossoms almost daily. 
Dwarf varieties grow to a height of 
12, to 15 inches; the tall, 6 to 10 feet.

Double Nasturtium 
Golden Gleam. The plant forms a 
vigorous, large bush which throws out 
short runners, averaging 18 inches. The 
large, golden-yellow flowers average 
two and one-half to three inches across. 
They are borne on erect stiff stems six 
inches in length. When well-grown 
these flowers have the appearance of 
a fully double flower, and are most at¬ 
tractive. An ordinary sized bouquet 
when allowed to remain in a room for 
a short period of time will fill the room 
with fragrance. Pkt. 5c.

Pansies 
No flower is so well known and loved 
as the pansy. Plant in a shady situa¬ 
tion and give plenty of moisture and 
fertilizer. Pick faded blooms so they 
do not go to seed. 
PANSY CULTURE. The seed may be 
sown indoors in February or March; 
or in Spring in the open ground, in a 
shady, cool spot where the plant can 
be protected from the strong mid-day 
sun. Pansies should be classed more 
as a biennial and fresh seed sown every 
year. Seed sown in the garden in Au¬ 
gust and September will winter over 
with little protection and start bloom¬ 
ing early in spring. 
Pansies should be In every garden.
