NICOTIANA - Flowering Tobacco; 
Half-Hardy Annual 
Nicotianas afford some very welcome sweet- 
scented plants for the greenhouse and conserva- 
tory, and as the flowers of N. affinis and its 
hybrids open best in subdued light they are par- 
ticularly valuable as pot plants for indoor dec- 
oration as well as for covered doorways. Seed 
may be sown from January to June, and a con- 
tinuance of bloom may be secured for nearly 
nine months of the year. 
Delightfully fragrant, long-tubed flowers in 
lovely colors make Nicotiana a ‘’must’’ in every 
garden. Plants thrive in full or quite shady areas 
and are’ especially fragrant in the evening or on 
cloudy days. Plants come into bloom very quickly 
from seeding and continue until late fall. Seed 
may be broadcast early in the spring where 
plants are to bloom.

A dwarf strain, about 15 inches high; admir- 
ably suited for bedding purposes, and also for 
pots in the greenhouse. The flowers are of a 
rich deep crimson, freely produced, and make 
a striking effect. 
3241. Affinis, Sutton’s Hybrids, Mixed 
Per packet 40c 
Brilliant colors including a large proportion of 
pink and rich red shades in addition to pure 
white. 
3255. Sylvestris Per packet 40c

long, tubular, pure white flowers borne in 
dense panicles, and possessing the merit of 
remaining fully expanded throughout the day 
as well as in the evening. Height 6 feet.

Few other flowers can rival the Nasturtium for 
brilliant coloring, and when grown in large masses 
in the garden or in ribbon borders by the sides 
of paths and drives, the effect is most striking. 
These flowers have also become very popular for 
decorating the dinner table and small vases in 
the drawing room, for which purpose the more 
delicate shades found in the newer varieties are 
especially suitable. All the varieties should be 
grown on poor soil. The flowers then appear 
above the foliage, but on rich land, or on ground 
heavily manured, the flowers, however abundant, 
are masked by the taller growing foliage. In a 
dry season watering in July and August will pro- 
long the display for weeks. 
DOUBLE GLEAM NASTURTIUMS 
These Nasturtiums are extremely decorative, 
whether grown in the garden, in pots, or in hang- 
ing baskets for the conservatory. The flowers, 
which are delightfully scented, stand well above 
the foliage, and the plants when in full bloom 
are a blaze of color. As each plant throws out 
a number of short runners, they should be spaced 
about 18 inches apart in beds to allow for de- 
velopment. The cut blooms are very desirable 
for house decoration. 
Semi-Tall Varieties

liant effect.

tiums which has become extremely popular. The

Gleam Nasturtiums and literally cover the neat, 
compact plants.
