FOR EVEN SMALL GARDENERS 
It’s much more economical to buy your 
fertilisers in larger quantities. They do 
not deteriorate with keeping, and are 
always handy for use when needed. See

Nasturtium Dwarf “Double Golden Globe” has all the good points of 
“Golden Gleam,” but does not run at all, and the same pretty semi-double 
blossoms stand up well above the dwarfer-growing foliage. 
The bushy plants of Nemesia 
Strumosa send up countless 
slender stalks crowned with 
bright floicers that in a mass 
provide a riot of colour. 
NEMESIA 
(H.A.—C.E.) A charming annual from 
South Africa, with pretty flowers of 
various colours, ranging from white to 
yellow, orange, brown and crimson and 
many other shades. The plants are 
hardy, and should be sown in the late 
summer or early autumn. They will 
then, in mild climates, bloom in the 
winter and spring in the open borders, 
making a good display. Very suitable 
for clumps and edgings. For best results 
with Nemesia, sow in February and 
again in August for summer blooming.
