NASTURTIUM 
Nasturtiums prefer dry, rather rocky soil, such as we usually 
call “‘poor’’ soil, and bear their flowers in such locations in 
greater profusion than in a rich garden, where they run too 
much to foliage. This adds to their value for planting over 
many unsightly places. Do not water too much. 
Sow the seed where it is to remain late in the spring after 
danger of frost is over. It is seldom necessary to thin the young 
plants, as they will bear standing close together.
