NASTURTIUMS 
TOM THUMB, OR DWARF VARIETIES 
A marvelous range of new colors has been developed in this favorite flower, which for three or four 
months of the season makes a better display than almost any other plant. No other 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 in thin soils, and never flags through the hottest weather. In soils too 
rich leaves predominate, and the plants are apt to rot off in wet weather, especially if standing too close. 
Plant the seeds an inch deep, and.thin seedlings to 10 or 12 inches apart.
