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, Sweet Scented 
New Scented Orange Gleam. The finest 
Gleam Nasturtium since Golden Gleam. 
Flowers are very large, uniformly dou¬ 
ble and profusely free flowering, while 
the color is entirely new in the Nas¬ 
turtium family. A deep glowing gold¬ 
en orange, with a deeper shading at 
the center. Plants are semi-dwarf 
bearing the flowers well above the 
light green foliage on long, wiry stems. 
Pkt. 25c. 
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; oz. 20c. 
Scarlet Gleam. A new Double Nastur¬ 
tium even more intensely dazzling in 
color than the showy Golden Gleam. 
The flowers are a fiery orange scarlet, 
blooms almost 3 inches across, and 
very fragrant. Pkt. 10c. 
Gleam Hybrids. Are a collection of 
gorgeously colored, large double flow¬ 
ers of dazzling beauty in colors of

cerise, cream yellow, orange crimson, 
and gold flushed scarlet. Pkt. 10c. 
Rodgers Dwarf Double Gem Mixture. 
Destined to be even more popular than 
the Gleams. Plants are truly dwarf 
and compact, totally without runners. 
The good-sized sweet scented double 
flowers cover the plants in an excel¬ 
lent color range. Makes an ideal plant 
for border and edging use. Pkt. 25c. 
Dwarf Double Golden Globe. Identical 
in color with the popular Golden 
Gleam, its habit and trueness to type 
also compare favorably with the ex¬ 
cellence of Golden Gleam. Uniformly 
dwarf and compact, Golden Globe is 
the first named color variety in the 
new Gem type of Nasturtium. It is 
very free flowering, and the well form¬ 
ed double flowers of deep go!den yel¬ 
low are delicately sweet scented. Pkt.

Oenothera (Evening Primrose) 
They are among our most beautiful 
annuals for garden beds, rockeries and 
borders. Of branching form, 1 to 2 
feet high, they produce continuously 
large single Poppy-like flowers of rose, 
yellow, white, etc. Blossoms open 
towards evening and last well into the 
next day. They are of easy culture 
but like a sunny location.

Fringed Petunia Cal. Giant Petunia 
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. 
Steele’s Mastodon. A mixture of giant

The Petunia is peerless among annuals 
for effective summer bedding or win¬ 
dow boxes. It is of easy culture.

its freshness for so long a period.

new Martha Washington ushers in an 
entirely new Petunia. The plants are 
about nine inches tall, in a perfect bail 
effect, actually covered with dozens of 
the delicately ruffled medium-sized

esting combination, blush pink at the 
edges, deepening to dark violet in the

der, window box or pot. Pkt. 25c.
