ASTURTIUMS are showy, popular annuals, but many of the newer and most beautiful sorts are known to a comparative few. When planted in poor soil they seem to bloom longer and are much more brilliant in coloring. They succeed under any circumstances, heat nor drought, do not effect them. The bedding varieties make a charming effect. As the cost of the seed is so low we recommend a trial of a number of sorts and especially the new kinds. Our Imperial mixtures will, we are certain, prove a delight to all who use them. The seeds if picked green make an excellent substitute for capers. DWARF OR BEDDING NASTURTIUMS.
