SINCE the Nasturtium has grown into favor as a garden flower 
for all the year round, so many new shades have developed 
that we have now a very wide range from pale cream color to 
dark red: yellow, orange, scarlet, mahogany tints and even pinks 
of various tones and shades are abundantly found. The cream, 
mahogany and pink tones are so refined as to make delicious 
combinations with the soft grey green of the leaves, where the 
livelier tints would be out of place, while the gorgeous yellows, 
oranges, scarlets, and dark reds come into play where a bright 
bit of color is needed. No flower is more decorative than the 
Nasturtium. The bud, flower, seed, leaf and stem are equally 
available. It makes an appropriate decoration for almost any 
shape and purpose, and lends itself equally well to a horizontal 
or vertical treatment in conventional design. The Nasturtium 
is especially appropriate as a design for salad bowl and plates. 
The designs here given can be treated in any scheme of color or 
material. 
For the bowl we would suggest carrying out the little back- 
ground design in flat gold. Tint the bowl a delicate cream 
either with color (Ivory Yellow) or lustre (Old Ivory), make 
leaves and stems a warm brown, using Meissen and Yellow 
Brown. The flowers should be in flat color— either yellows verging to orange or orange verging to red. Albert Yellow, Yel- 
low Brown, Coral Red, Flame Red, Yellow Red. Blood Red, Pompadour and Red Brown are all suitable colors; a touch of 
Ruby Purple would not be amiss for dark red Nasturtiums. If lustres are used the proper colors would be Yellow, Orange, 
Orange over Ruby, Orange over Rose, Brown and Yellow Brown. Outline in Black, Brown or Gold.
