HOSEA WATERER, Philadelphia 
NASTURTIUMS 
A marvelous range of new colors has been developed in this favorite flower which, for three or four months of the season, makes a better 
display than almost any other plant. No other hardy annual will produce such a lavish profusion of flowers for so long a time with the same 
small outlay of time and labor. The maximum of bloom is produced on thin soils, and never flags through the hottest weather. In soils too 
rich, leaves predominate, and the plants are apt to rot off jin wet weather, especially if standing too close. The tall varieties make a very 
effective display when trained on fences or trellises and the low sorts are fine for edging and massing.
