there is no way to remove them from the 
good seed, they will usually show only a 
“partial germination’. There is no_ seed 
dormancy. 
In nursery practice sow seeds in flats 
containing a soil of sandy peat to which 
has been added a pulverized decayed oak 
litter. Sow seeds on the surface of tha 
soil, press down and cover lightly with 
fine sphagnum, cover with glass and water 
from below. The seed takes 10 to 25 days 
to germinate.

NASTURTIUM. (nas-TUR-ee-um) (Tropaeclum) Tropaeolaceae. (8 days) 
This is a much confused classification with Water Cress, Nasturtium officinale being 
the only listed species. The flowers listed in the trade and also commonly known as 
Nasturtiums belongs to the Tropaeolaceae Family, with the genus Tropaeolum being the 
only member. It has several species, including the Canary Bird Flower. The species 
major includes all the commonly grown Nasturtiums, both bush and climbing. 
Grow them as tender annuals giving them a warm sunny position, planting seed direct 
to the soil. They also can be started in pots for setting outdoors when the weather is 
warm; they are tender and will stand no frost. They can be planted even in June here 
in Michigan. They are good for the Tulip beds, using the climber or tall type.
