NASTURTIUM. 
{DWARF VARIETIES.) 
The newer varieties of the dwarf Nasturtium are among 
the most useful and beautiful of garden favorites ; 
their compact growth, rich colored flow r ers and free 
blooming qualities make them invaluable for bedding, 
massing or ribboning. They thrive best in rather 
poor soil. A fine effect may be produced by having a 
center of Perilla Nankinensis, surrounded by the dif¬ 
ferent varieties of King of Tom Thumbs, and an 
outer edging of Sweet Alvssum or Lobelia.

PANSY. 
(HEARTSEASE.) 
We offer seed of the best varieties of this highly es¬ 
teemed flower, and many new sorts and shades may 
be obtained from the mixed packets. Start early in 
March in the house; if no greenhouse is convenient a 
sunny window will answer. Sow lightly in fine loam, 
in a box or flower-pot, and transplant when well up. 
Transplant several times before finally transplanting 
out of doors. Pick off the first buds as soon as they 
appear, and from early fall until the ground freezes 
you will have the largest Pansies possible to grow. 
Seeds sown in a cool place in June, or later, and kept 
well watered will produce fall flowering plants. Sow 
also in September for winter flowering. The plants 
should always occupy a cool, partially shaded situa¬ 
tion, and the ground cannot be too rich; coolness and 
moisture are necessary.
