Nasturtium, Double Golden Gleam. 
Nasturtium 
Giant Pansies 
This popular annual is so well known that it needs little de¬ 
scription. Pansies are easily grown and bloom profusely for 
many months. Sow the seed indoors early in March or outdoors 
as early as the ground can be prepared. If sown during August, 
and wintered over in a cold frame, the plants will begin bloom¬ 
ing very early the following spring and continue their showy 
display throughout the summer. 
639 ENGELMANN'S GIANTS. Dark and light shades, huge 
flowers, very compact and early flowering. 
640 SWISS GIANTS. This strain of pansies is the most sensa¬ 
tional novelty of many years. The seed we offer will produce 
flowers of gigantic size, perfectly round, and produce many 
new color combinations and shades previously unknown in 
pansies. Blooms early. Fkt., 50c. 
641 OREGON GIANTS. A very fine mixture of giant types. 
Fkt., 35c.

new race of Pansies flowers four to six weeks earlier than 
the other varieties. y a oz., 50c; pkt., 15c. 
TUFTED PANSIES. See Viola, page 62. 
Common as the Nasturtiums undoubtedly 
are, few other flowers can rival them for 
brilliant coloring and fragrance. Very 
popular for decorating the dinner table 
and small vases. Three very distinct types 
exist. The tall or climbing varieties are 
valuable for quickly covering fences, screens 
and trellises. The Tom Thumb or dwarf 
Nasturtiums which cannot be excelled for 
bedding or edging, and then the new Double 
or Sweet Scented Nasturtiums. You will 
enjoy them. All varieties should be grown 
on poor soil. The flowers then appear 
well above the foliage but on rich land or 
on ground heavily fertilized they will have 
a tendency to produce more leaves than 
flowers. In the dry season watering in July 
and August will prolong the display for 
weeks. 
New Double Sweet Scented 
Nasturtiums 
627 GOLDEN GLEAM. The plant forms a 
vigorous, large bush which throws out 
short runners, averaging eighteen inches. 
The double flowers commence to come as 
soon as the plant nears complete develop¬ 
ment and at the time it is in full bloom, 
the entire plant, including the runners, is 
a blaze of color. The large, golden-yellow 
flowers average 2 V& to 3 inches across. They 
are borne on erect, stiff stems 6 inches 
in length. Consequently, the flowers stand 
well above the foliage, an arrangement 
which adds immeasurably to the showy 
appearance of the plant. Very fragrant.

630 DWARF DOUBLE “GOLDEN 
GLOBE”. This pretty novelty bears the 
same large double sweet scented golden 
yellow flowers that have made the rep¬ 
utation 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. Fkt., 35c.

ties and shades. Oz., 15c; V4 lb-» 45c;

Petunia 
A very useful and free-flowering annual, thriving on any soil 
and in the hottest weather. For a showy bed, or for porch or 
window boxes, few plants equal the Petunia in effectiveness. 
Sow the seed in pots or flats in the house or hotbed in February 
or March, or in the garden as soon as the soil is warm. Cover 
the seed but slightly as it is very fine. 
Large Single Flowering Varieties 
645 SETTING SUN. The result of a cross between Petunia 
grandiflora fimbriata, Brilliant Rose, and a dwarf variety. It 
comes true from seed and forms compact bushes 12 inches 
high, covered with beautifully fringed blossoms of a bril¬ 
liant rose-pink, measuring 3 inches across. It is admirably 
suited both for growing in pots and for borders. Fkt., 35c. 
646 GOTTFRIED MICHAELIS. A worthy companion to the 
Dwarf Fringed Petunia, “Setting Sun,” introduced last year. 
The compact bushes of about 12 inches in height are cov¬ 
ered with daintily fringed and waved medium-sized flowers 
about 3 inches in diameter, of a brilliant amaranth red. 
deepening somewhat toward the center. This Petunia will be 
found of the greatest value for bedding purposes, as also for 
pots and window boxes. Fkt., 35c. 
647 ELK’S FRIDE. Immense flowers of rich deep Elk’s purple, 
with large lobes forming a five-pointed star. The velvety 
black veins add much beauty. Fkt., 25c. 
648 DIENER’S FINK GLORY. Large, well-formed flowers of a 
most exquisite luminous pink, shaded with a contrasting 
white throat, and marked with creamy white veins. Fkt., 35c. 
649 THEODOSIA. Large, fringed, rosy pink flowers with a 
clearly defined golden center. Fkt., 35c. 
650 DWARF GIANTS (Ramona Strain). A dwarf, sturdy 
growing type, especially suited for pot culture. Flowers are 
beautifully ruffled and fringed with open well-marked 
throats. The mixture contains a good assortment of the most 
desirable dark and light shades which are well balanced. 
Pkt., 50c. 
651 RUFFLED MONSTERS. A half dwarf type of erect and ro¬ 
bust habit. The flowers are very large and ruffled, with open 
shallow throats. The colors are mostly the desirable red and 
dark shades, richly marked and veined. Fkt., 35c. 
652 WHITE CLOUD. Pure white, very dwarf and compact. 
Fkt., 25c. 
Double Flowering Varieties 
653 DOUBLE FRINGED MIXED. An excellent, carefully 
hand-pollenized strain, yielding a large percentage of plants 
having double, finely fringed flowers. Embraces a splendid 
variety of colors and many beautiful combinations. Double 
Petunia seed is extremely costly and more care should be 
used in growing it. The small, slow-growing seedlings with 
crumpled foliage, which should be carefully saved, are the 
ones that produce the best double blooms; the remainder 
carry choice large single flowers. Pkt., 50c. 
654 DOUBLE ROSY MORN. Medium sized flowers, semi-double 
with heavy petals folding back from the center, of a lovely 
rose color. Fkt., 25c.
