Double Globe-Type Nasturtiums 
Dwarf Compact Bushes—Long Stems 
The Double Sweet-Scented Globe-Type Nasturtiums 
are the finest type of Nasturtiums yet introduced. 
The plants are of dwarf, compact bush or globular 
form, about 1 ft. high, totally without runners, and 
hold their compact form throughout the season. The 
large double and semi-double flowers are produced in 
great profusion, and their long stems, wonderful fra- 
grance and beauty, combined with their long keeping 
qualities, make them ideal for bouquets. They thrive 
under almost any cultural conditions, and the dwarf, 
rounded plants are most attractive for beds, borders, 
rock gardens and pot culture. We can supply the 
following varieties in the double globe-type.

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.

with a mass of large, sweet-scented golden yellow, semi-
