Double Globe Type Nasturtium 
Double Gleam-Type 
Nasturtiums 
SEMI-DWARF BUSHES 
The Gleam-Type Nasturtiums are semi-dwarf, form- 
ing vigorous, large bushes, and when fully developed 
send out short runners about 18 inches in length. The 
flowers are large, double, and semi-double, sweet- 
scented, and are borne on long, erect, stiff stems which 
stand well above the foliage, producing a blaze of 
glory. The neat compact habit and early appearance 
of flowers make it most valuable for flower beds and an 
excellent pot plant. The short runners, which also bear 
numerous flowers, add to the usefulness of the plant 
for window boxes, or the runners can be pinched back 
as soon as they appear, and a round mass of flowers 
will be the result. In the garden or for cutting no 
flower could be more lovely. We can supply the fol- 
lowing varieties in the Gleam-Type. =
