Double Nasturtiums 
Nasturtiums will really grow on soils incapable of support- 
ing many other pants and are most useful on dry, sandy, or 
gravelly banks. In very dry seasons the Tall sorts have a ten- 
dency not to run on a poor soil, and if a trellis is to be covered 
quickly the plants should be enccuraged by watering in the 
early stages of growth; in wet seasons the Dwarfs have a 
tendency to run and to produce more leaves than flowers, and 
they should therefore be sown on as poor a soil as possible. 
Double Sweet Scented 
These Nasturtiums are of a vigorous bushy habit, producing 
a few short runners which are thickly studded with long- 
stemmed double blooms. :
