DOUBLE NASTURTIUMS 
Nasturtiums will grow well on soils in- 
capable of supporting many other plants and 
are most useful on dry, sandy or gravely 
banks. In very dry seasons the tall sorts 
have a tendency not to run on poor soil, and 
if a trellis 1s to be covered quickly the plants 
should be encouraged by watering in the 
early stages of growth. In wet seasons the 
dwarfs are likely to run and to produce more 
leaves than flowers; they should therefore 
be sown on as poor a soil as possible.
