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, in¬ 
cluding 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 rock- 
work, 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. (*See cut.)

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

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 wonder¬ 
fully 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 sur¬ 
pass 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 commence blooming during early summer and 
continue until severe frosts. (See cut.)
