NASTURTIUM 
Tropaeolum—Planting time, March to July 
Nasturtiums prefer dry, rather rocky soil, such as we 
usually call ‘‘poor’’ soil, and bear their flowers in such 
locations in greater profusion than in a rich garden, 
where they run too much to foliage. This adds to their 
value for planting over many unsightly places. Water 
sparingly. 
Sow the seed where it is to remain late in the spring 
after danger of frost is over. It is seldom necessary to 
thin the young plants.
