NEW DWARF NASTURTIUM,

them as remarkable novelties of great merit. They 
are similar in growth and habit to other Nas¬ 
turtiums, but bear flowers of many differ¬ 
ent colors on the same plant. The flowers 
are of largest size and most brilliant shades; 
blotched, margined, and stained, in many wonder¬
