Nasturtium — Double Golden Gleam 
Nasturtium 
Tropaeolum 
Most Brilliant of Annuals 
Nasturtiums are one of our most popular and 
brilliant annuals. The neat, ornamental foliage and 
bright flowers produced in profusion until cut by 
frost, makes them useful in any garden. Tall, as 
well as dwarf sorts, may be used for bedding. Dwarf 
named sorts best for edging because of uniformity. 
They will thrive in poor soil, requiring almost no 
Sow seed outside when ground is WARM. 
Since the introduction in 1933 of Golden Gleam 
Nasturtium, other colors have been added to this 
eroup of semi-double, free-flowering Nasturtiums 
that are equally beautiful and sweet-scented.
