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, make 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 
care. Sow seed outside when ground is WARM. 
Since the introduction in 1933 of Golden Gleam 
Nasturtium, other colors ‘have been added to this 
group of semi-double, free-flowering Nasturtiums 
that are equally beautiful and sweet-scented. 
SEMI-DOUBLE NASTURTIUM 
Golden Gleam. A vigorous bush form throwing 
some 12 to 18 inch runners. Large, semi-double, golden 
yellow, fragrant flowers, profusely borne on erect, stiff 
stems six inches long above the foliage. When in full 
bloom the flowers almost hide the foliage. Flowers 
frequently come single but mostly with two extra petals ; 
all petals more or less ruffled and giving the appearance 
of a double flower. Awarded Gold Medal in the All 
America Selections, 1933. “Per spkt2 15¢.;..0z), S0G?:

SEMI-DOUBLE SWEET SCENTED 
SCARLET GLEAM 
The flowers are a fiery orange-scarlet. The blooms 
are semi-double, and sweet fragrance pronounced. 
The contrast of the beautiful flowers above the lush 
green leaves attracts the eye. Scarlet Gleam 
has been officially recognized by the Royal Horti- 
cultural Society in London for the most meri- 
torious exhibit at Chelsea. At Oakland, Cali- 
fornia, the winner of its coveted Silver Medal 
for the outstanding introduction of the year, 
also received Gold Medal—All America Selec- 
tions, 1934. The plants are semi-dwarf, throwing 
short runners.
