JOHNSON SEED COMPANY 
NASTURTIUMS 
A marvellous range of new 
colors has been developed in 
this favorite flower, which is 
in constant bloom throughout 
the season, and if these are 
kept well picked so that the 
plant cannot produce seed 
they will continue to flower 
until frost. No other annual 
flower seed will produce such 
a lavish profusion of bloom for 
so long a time and with the 
same small outlay of care and 
attention. 
Thin, poor soil, if possible, 
disintegrated rock is the best 
soil, as this produces the maxi¬ 
mum of bloom. Soils in which 
manure has been used heavily 
causes the plains to produce a 
heavy growth of leaves at the 
expense of blossoms. They are 
also in such soils apt to rot off 
in wet weather, especially if 
the plants have been left stand¬ 
ing close to one another. 
You cannot have too many 
Nasturtiums. Plant them 
along fences, hedges or wher¬ 
ever it is desired to have a 
bunch of bright color. 
DWARF NASTURTIUMS. 
DWARF OR TOM THUMB NASTURTIUMS 
These have a neat compact habit and attractive foliage, 
are not disturbed by insects, bloom in two months from seed, 
and most profusely till frost.

One of our customers writes of our NASTUR¬ 
TIUMS: “ Your collection of Nasturtiums is the 
finest we have ever grown. They bloom profusely 
from early summer until fall and make our gar¬ 
den gorgeous with bright coloring. The foliage 
is remarkably beautiful.” Above illustration is a 
photograph taken from a bunch from this particular 
garden.
