GIANT-FLOWERING 
CLIMBING NASTURTIUMS. 
A new section obtained by a French specialist by hybridizing, and distin¬ 
guished 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., 
eithei 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 mar¬ 
velous 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.
