9 NORTHRUP, KING & CO.’S VEGETABLE AND FLOWER SEEDS 
NASTURTIUM 
This hardy annual is a native of Peru. It 
has won a high place for itself in popular 
favor through its beauty, ease of culture, 
adaptability to many uses and long periods 
of bloom. It grows well all over the United 
States provided it has moderately good 
soil in a well-drained, fairly cool, moist and 
sunny location. Begins blooming early and 
will continue up to frost if flowers are picked 
before seed forms. The circular leaves and 
large blooms are borne on long thin stems 
suitable for cutting. The five-petalled flow- 
ers with open, hairy throats and trailing 
spurs run almost the whole range of flower 
colors, excepting blue, green and white.
