Nasturtium — Double Golden Gleam 
Nasturtium 
Tropaeolum 
Most Brilliant of Annuals 
Nasturtiums are one of our most popular and 
brilliant annuals. The neat, ornamental foliage and 
bright flowers produced in profusion until cut by 
frost, makes them useful in any garden. Tall, as 
well as dwarf sorts, may be used for bedding. 
Dwarf named sorts best for edging because of 
uniformity. They will thrive in poor soil, requiring 
almost no care. Sow seed outside when ground is 
WARM. Since the introduction in 1933 of Golden 
Gleam Nasturtium, other colors have been added 
to this group of semi-double, free-flowering Nas- 
turtiums that are equally beautiful and sweet- 
scented. 
SEMI-DOUBLE NASTURTIUM 
Golden Gleam. A vigorous bush form throwing 
some 12 to 18 inch runners. Large, semi-double, 
golden yellow, fragrant flowers, profusely borne on 
erect, stiff stems six inches long above the foliage. 
When in full bloom the flowers almost hide the 
foliage. Flowers frequently come single but mostly 
with two extra petals; all petals more or less ruf- 
fled and giving the appearance of a double flower. 
Awarded Gold Medal in the All America Selec- 
tions, 1933. Per pkt., 10c.; 0z., 20c.; %4-lb., 45.
