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 appear- 
ance 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 windaw 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
