CLIMBING NASTURTIUM.
Tropaeolum majus.
Nasturtiums are among our very best Climbers. They require but little care, for seed sown
in the spring of the year in any fair garden soil, not too rich, will produce plants ten or twelve
feet in height before autumn. They endure hot and dry weather very well. The young shoots
and blossoms are sometimes used as a salad, and the seed-pods are considered a very good
substitute or Cress. There are several varieties ; the leaves of some are very light transparent
green, while m others they are very dark, almost purplish. The flowers are all shades of
yellow, scarlet, and spotted. The climbing Tropceolum is an excellent plant for baskets, vases
etc. Grown two or three in a large pot. with bush or lattice work support, they make a very
showy ornament which can be moved at pleasure.
Per ounce i S cents; packet, 5 cents ; except when noted.
