Pearly Gates and Heavenly Blue Morning Glories planted together 
in our trials this past Summer brought praises from all who saw 
them in flower. 
MORNING GLORIES 
In growing Morning Glories never plant until the 
soil is thoroughly warm. If it is too cool the seeds will 
rot instead of germinating. To aid germination soak 
the seed overnight in warm water. Sow where the 
plants are to flower as they do not transplant easily. 
Morning Glories show off to best advantage when 
planted against a wall, fence or trellis. Height 12 ft. 
or more.

ROBSON QUALITY SEEDS, HALL, NEW YORK 
NASTURTIUM 
This valuable annual with vivid single or double 
flowers if yellow, orange or red, thrives in a sunny 
position or in shade. An overly rich soil will cause the 
plants to produce more leaves than flowers. The bril- 
liant colors and refreshing fragrance of the flowers 
makes them ideal for cutting. Nasturtiums are sub- 
ject to pernicious black lice which, if unchecked by a 
nicotine spray (See page 46 Black Leaf 40), completely 
ruin the plants. Sow in the garden after danger of 
frost. Thin to 12 inches. Height 1 ft.
