Annual Flower Seeds 
BRECK’S 
Mimosa • Sensitive Plant 
Nasturtium • T ropaeolum 
Few plants reward the grower more liberally with beauty and downright 
pleasure than Nasturtiums. Their fragrant flowers are most freely produced 
and have many merits for cutting. Three very distinct types exist: the 
Tall or Running varieties, which are excellent for scrambling over stone- 
piles, trellises, etc.; the Dwarf Nasturtiums for bedding and edging; and 
and the newer, popular Semi-Dwarf type with sweetly scented, double 
flowers. _ In the garden no flowers are lovelier than those of the Double 
Nasturtiums. For best results they should be grown in rather poor soil in a 
sunny location.
