GIANT-FLOWERING 
C LIMBING N ASTURTIUMS. 
A new section obtained by a French specialist by hybridizing, 
and distinguished by flowers of a large size and a richness and 
variety of coloring not to be found in Nasturtiums heretofore 
grown. There have already been produced twenty-two different 
colors or combinations of colors in these new hybrids, including 
various shades of rose, salmon bright red. pale yellow, etc., 
either self-colored or spotted, mottled, striped, and margined. 
For covering trellises, fences, arbors, piazzas, trailing from 
vases, over rockwork, etc., nothing can equal the gorgeous effect 
produced by their marvelous quantities of bloom, borne in 
uninterrupted splendor from early summer until cut down by 
frost. Their ease of culture and rapidity of luxuriant growth, 
12 to 15 feet high, render them worthy of great popularity.

“Please send me your best mixed Nasturtium seed, the large 
kind, Giant-Flowering. I had this same kind last year, and they 
produced the most wonderful ainount of blossoms all summer long 9 
till the last were frozen on the vines. The size of flowers and magnif¬ 
icent coloring were the wonder of all our friends. Nothing could 
have been more satisfactory.”

6 to 8 feet high, with thick green-lobed leaves resembling those 
of the English Ivy. The flowers, which are borne in greatest 
abundance throughout the season, are of medium size and 
peculiarly cut and fringed, giving them an airy butterfly effect;

_ GIANT-FLOWERING =-; 
TOM THUMB NASTURTIUMS. 
These Grand Bedding Nasturtiums have been developed 
through years of careful hybridization, culture and selection under 
conditions thoroughly congenial to the highest development of 
this popular garden annual. Not only have the flowers increased 
wonderfully in size, often measuring three inches across, but a 
great variety of new and charming combinations of colors has 
been produced, while the brilliancy and velvety richness of the 
self-colored sorts have been greatly enhanced. For summer 
flower-beds nothing can surpass them ; the plants form perfect 
mounds about one foot high by one foot across. Seed sown in 
the open ground in the spring will produce plants that com¬ 
mence blooming during early summer and continue until frost.
