NASTURTIUMS 
CLIMBING NASTURTIUMS 
T HESE are among the very best climbers. They require but 
very little care, for seed sown in the spring of the year in 
any fair garden soil, not too rich, will produce plants ten to twelve 
feet in height before autumn. They endure hot and dry weather 
very well. There are several varieties; the leaves of some being 
very light transparent green, while in others they are very dark, 
almost purplish. The flowers are all shades of yellow and scarlet, 
some of them beautifully spotted. The climbing Tropaeolums are 
excellent plants for baskets, vases, etc. Grown two or three in a 
large pot, with brush or lattice work support, they make a most 
showy ornament, which can be moved at pleasure.
