Nasturtium 
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 ex¬ 
celled 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 dis¬ 
play for weeks. 
New Double Sweet Scented 
Nasturtiums 
633 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 development and at the 
time it is in full bloom, the en¬ 
tire plant, including the runners, 
is a blaze of color. The large, 
golden-yellow flowers average 
2^ 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. Oz., 25c; pkt., 10c.
