J. J: BUTZER, PORTLAND, OREGON 
NASTURTIUMS 
TALL OR TRAILING 
These are all of strong, vigorous growth, throwing 
out running shoots that can be trained upon strings 
or wires, or can be readily made to climb ordinary 
paling fences or wire netting. They are very showy, 
also, planted at the top of a steep slope and allowed 
to run down the bank.

leaved. 
—Butterfly—Sunflower yellow spotted salmon pink.

BUTZER’S ROSE CITY 
MIXTURE OF TALL 
NASTURTIUMS 
This mixture is absolutely unequaled ; nothing bet¬ 
ter to be had anywhere. In it will be found all the 
choicest colors of tall Nasturtiums, of all the new 
shades, as well as the standard sorts. Pkt. 5c; oz. 10c; 
2 oz. 15c; X A lb. 30c; lb. $1.00. 
TALL IVY-LEAVED NASTURTIUMS 
The plants are of running growth, with star-like 
pointed leaves of rich green, veined with white, so 
that the young shoots, where the leaves are set closely 
together have a marked resemblance to the foliage of 
the hardy English Ivy. The flowers are of medium 
size and of most distinct form. The petals are quite 
narrow, and standing well apart from each other, 
present a striking star-like appearance. Many colors 
mixed. Pkt. 10c; oz. 20c; % lb. 60c. 
DWARF “IVY-LEAVED” 
All Colors in Mixture—This mixture, like the Tall 
Ivy Leaved Mixture contains a most remarkable range 
of colors. There are colors and color combinations 
that are not found in any other strain of Nasturtiums. 
It is indeed a glorious mixture! Every one who grows 
Nasturtiums should plant at least a packet of the seed, 
in order to become acquainted with this grand new 
type. Pkt. 10c; oz. 20c; *4 lb. 60c; lb. $2.00, postpaid 
Golden Gleam Nasturtium 
This new type is of semi-trailing habit and a new 
development in Nasturtiums. Plants form a vigorous 
large bush which throws out short runners averaging 
18 inches. The sweet scented, large double flowers are 
of a golden yellow color and average two to three in. 
across ; they are borne on erect stiff stems six inches 
in length and stand well above the foliage, an arrange¬ 
ment which adds immeasurably to the showy appear¬ 
ance of the plant; they are also splendid for cutting. 
The seed we offer is strictly originator’s stock. 
Pkt. 10c; oz. 15c; 2 oz. 25c. 
NASTURTIUM 
DOUBLE GLORIOUS GLEAM HYBRIDS 
The Hybrids are a collection of gorgeously 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 salmon, 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 cultural conditions, and this 
factor, combined with the brilliance of their colors, 
assures Gleam Hybrids of a universal popularity.

*OENOTHERA 
These open their flowers 
in the evening and one can 
enjoy a thrill in his garden 
if he will sit for 15 minutes 
at twilight and watch the 
Evening primroses (Oeno¬ 
thera) drop their calyx and 
unfold their petals. We have 
had a plant in our garden. 
The buds are closed when we 
start the hose going, but be¬ 
fore we get through, presto! 
a wealth of large golden 
blooms greets us and bids us 
“good night.”
