NASTURTIUMS a 
A marvelous range of new colors has been de¬ 
veloped 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 weath¬ 
er. In soils too rich, leaves predominate, and the 
plants are apt to rot off in 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. 
DOUBLE GLEAM: 
GOLDEN GLEAM, This plant forms a vigorous, large 
bush, which throws out runners, averaging eigh¬ 
teen inches. Flowering begins as soon as the plant 
nears complete development, and at the time it is 
in full bloom the entire plant, including runners, is 
a blaze of color. The large, golden-yellow semi¬ 
double flowers average two and one-half to three 
inches across. They are borne on e:ect, stiff stems 
six inches in length. Consequently the flowers 
stand well above the foliage, an arrangement which 
adds immeasurably to the showy appearance of the 
plant. An ordinary sized bouquet, when allowed to 
remain in a room for a short period of time will 
fill the room with musk-like fragrance. 
2 oz. 45c; 1 oz. 25c; Pkt. 10c. 
TRAILING AND TALL VARIETIES: 
SPECIAL MIXTURE, The foliage and flowers of this 
rapid growing type are somewhat smaller than 
those of others, but the colors are more brilliant, 
and blooms more abundant. 
2 oz. 25c; 1 oz. 15c; Pkt. 10c. 
NEMESIA (Nana Compacta) A 
This is one of the dwarf annuals which make pleas¬ 
ing masses of low growth for foreground beds, and 
edging. The orchid-like flowers, which are often 
three-quarters of an inch across, are varied in color, 
ranging from rose, yellow orange and blue. 
SUPERBISSIMA MIXED, 1 foot. Is the finest strain of 
the most popular flower, both for size and massive 
build of the individual flowers, also for the rich¬ 
ness and variety of colors.Pkt. 10c. 
Where low stocky plants are desired, pinch off the terminal 
or tip growth of young plants when they are four to six inches 
high. They will send out numerous side growths and develop 
a low, compact growth. 
Use this cultural method on Snapdragons, Calendula, Coleus, 
Lantana, Scabiosa, Stocks and Zinnias. 
ORANGE GLEAM—(See Page 2) 
SCARLET GLEAM, (Sweet Scented), Scarlet 
Gleam is the first introduction of compan¬ 
ion colors to the popular Golden Gleam. 
It is a fiery orange scarlet in color, de¬ 
lightfully sweet scented, superior in type, 
extra large flowered, and profusely free 
blooming. When grown in a large block 
it has been likened to a huge fiery carpet 
spread over the ground; the most intensely 
dazzling color one could imagine in a flow¬ 
er, even more showy than the vivid golden 
yellow of Golden Gleam. 1 oz. 30c; Pkt. 10c. 
GLORIOUS GLEAM HYBRIDS, FINEST MIXED, 
The flowers are fine, large, well formed, 
sweet scented doubles, of the same type 
as the well known Golden Gleam. In habit 
of growth they also closely resemble Gold¬ 
en Gleam, with semi-dwarf plants throw¬ 
ing short runners from well-rounded free- 
flowering bushes. The stems are long, and 
bear the flowers well above the lush green 
foliage, giving the effect of a solid mass 
of color. Excellent color range. 
2 oz. 45c; 1 oz. 25c; Pkt. 10c. 
DWARF SINGLE: 
FINEST MIXED, Curly foliage and flowers 
in many bright colors. 
2 oz. 25c; 1 oz. 15c; Pkt. 10c. 
SINGLE DWARF SPENCER MIXED: Plants of 
the same growth and flowering habits as 
the regular single dwarf type, but the 
leaves are attractively fluted and waved. 
2 oz. 25c; 1 oz. 15c; Pkt. 10c.
