THE FRANK S. PLATT COMPANY’S 
NASTURTIUM—DOUBLE GOLDEN GLEAM 
Nasturtium. 
Tropaeolum 
Most Brilliant of Annuals 
Nasturtiums are one of our most popular and 
brilliant annuals. The neat, ornamental foliage 
and bright flowers produced in profusion until cut 
by frost, makes them useful in any garden. Tall, 
as well as dwarf sorts, may be used for bedding. 
Dwarf named sorts best for edging because of 
uniformity. They will thrive in poor soil, requir¬ 
ing almost no care. Sow seed outside when 
ground is WARM. Since the introduction in 1933 
of Golden Gleam Nasturtium, other colors have 
been added to this group of semi-dwarf, free- 
flowering Nasturtiums that are equally beautiful 
and sweet-scented. 
DOUBLE NASTURTIUM 
Golden Gleam. A vigorous bush form throwing 
some 12 to 18 inch runners. Large, semi-double, 
golden-yellow, fragrant flowers, profusely borne 
on erect, stiff stems six inches long above the 
foliage. When in full bloom the flowers almost 
hide the foliage. Flowers frequently come single 
but mostly with two extra petals; all petals more 
or less ruffled and giving the appearance of a 
double flower. Awarded Gold Medal in the All 
America Selections, 1933. Price per ^-lb., 45c.; 
per oz., 20c.; per pkt., 10c. 
DOUBLE SWEET SCENTED 
SCARLET GLEAM 
The flowers are a fiery orange-scarlet, (compar¬ 
able to Scarlet Sage or Geraniums). The blooms 
are almost 3 inches across, double, and the sweet 
fragrance pronounced. The contrast of the beau¬ 
tiful flowers above the lush-green leaves attracts 
and holds the eye. Scarlet Gleam has been offi¬ 
cially recognized by the Royal Horticultural So¬ 
ciety in London for the most meritorious exhibit 
at Chelsea. At Oakland, California, the winner of 
its coveted Silver Medal for the outstanding in¬ 
troduction of the year, also received Gold Medal 
—All America Selections 1934. The plants are
