FLOWER SEEDS?*.
NASTURTIUM

in almost any soil, flowering- more profusely,
however, in light, gravelly ground. When
planted in rich soil the tendency is to produce
an abundance of foliage at the expense of a
dearth of flowers.
TALL, OR CLIMBING VARIETIES.
These are very effective for covering out-
houses, fences, etc., and equally useful for
planting at the top of slopes and allowed to
trail.
