New Double Sweet Scented 
Nasturtiums 
Illustrated on Front Cover 
DOUBLE SCARLET GLEAM. Ever since Golden Gleam was 
introduced in 1931, interest has run high in anticipation of 
new colors in the double, sweet scented Gleam type of 
Nasturtium. In offering Scarlet Gleam this year we are 
giving the first answer to this demand for additional colors. 
Those who have seen Scarlet Gleam growing, enthusiastic¬ 
ally proclaim it even more intensely dazzling in color than 
the showy Golden Gleam. The flowers are a fiery orange- 
scarlet, a color comparable to the brilliance of Scarlet Sage, 
or seeing a row of the plants one might visualize a showy 
border of scarlet Geraniums. The individual blooms are of 
an immense size, almost three inches across, much larger 
than any Nasturtium ever known. The sweet fragrance is 
more pronounced, and the double flowers more uniformly 
well formed. The foliage is the same lush green, character¬ 
istic of Golden Gleam, and the contrast of the large, double, 
fiery orange-scarlet flowers above their cool restful green 
leaves attracts and holds the eye at once, while the ease with 
which they can be grown under almost any conditions will 
make Scarlet Gleam the most popular all around annual. The 
plants are semi-dwarf, throwing short runners from a well 
rounded free flowering bush, with long wiry stems bearing 
the numerous flowers well above the foliage, which gives the 
effect of a solid mass of color. Pkt., 35c; V4 oz., 65c. 
DOUBLE GLEAM HYBRIDS. With the introduction of these 
Gleam Hybrids the flower world is enriched by an advance 
in the forward progress of the plant world. As the Dahlia 
Flowered Zinnias in 1924 tolled the death knell of the single 
Zinnias, Double Gleam Nasturtiums in 1934 are the fountain¬ 
head from which will issue the flowers of tomorrow in the 
Nasturtium family. The Hybrids are a collection of gorge¬ 
ously colored, large, well formed flowers of such dazzling 
beauty that the mind hesitates to credit the evidence of the 
eyes. Colors certainly never dreamed of before in a double 
Nasturtium abound in profusion—glorious flowers of sal¬ 
mon, golden yellow, orange-scarlet, cerise, cream-yellow, 
orange, crimson and gold flushed scarlet combine with the 
foliage of fresh green. They thrive under almost any cul¬ 
tural conditions, and this factor, combined with the brilliance 
of their colors, assures Gleam Hybrids of a universal pop¬ 
ularity. The plants are semi-dwarf, throwing short runners 
from well rounded free flowering bushes. Stems are long, and 
bear the flowers well above the foliage of the plant. In the 
garden or for cutting no flower could be more lovely. Pkt., 
25c; M oz., 50c. 
NASTURTIUM DWARF DOUBLE “GOLDEN GLOBE”. This 
pretty Novelty bears the same large double sweet-scented 
golden yellow flowers that have made the reputation of the 
Nasturtium Golden Gleam, but the habit of the plant is 
quite different. Instead of being a semi-runner it forms an 
almost perfect globe. Pkt., 35c. 
Rudbeckia, Kelvedon Star 
A perfect long-stemmed flower for cutting, a sturdy and 
floriferous plant for bedding, a new annual. The flowers vary 
both in form and coloring but all have dark brown centers, sur¬ 
rounded by a shining mahogany zone, on petals of deep gold. A 
rampant grower, reaching 3 ft. in height, and should be planted 
18 inches apart with 2 ft. between the rows. By June it will fill 
the bed and flower until frost. Sowings should be made in Feb- 
urary and seedlings planted out in late April or early May. 
Pkt., 20c. 
Statice Dicksonii 
Dicksonii is undoubtedly the outstanding Statice introduc¬ 
tion of recent years. It is quite unlike any other variety in 
commerce, and as far as we can discover, unknown to the 
gardeners of this country and Europe. The flowers are very 
large and open, borne in quantities on long-stemmed large 
sprays which have a delightfully lacy open effect. The plants 
are fully hardy, rather slow growing, with tough, dark green, 
long, narrow leaves making a neat clump from which rise the 
sprays of deep rose flowers. Plants will not flower the first 
year from seed, but they are well worth waiting for an extra 
season. Pkt., 25c.
