. The school garden book. School gardens. NASTURTIUMS tiums belong to the species called Tropceolum majus. The Lobs Nasturtiums belong to the species Tropceolum Lob- hianum. The curious plant called canary bird flower, which is often grown in, greenhouses, is a nasturtium which belongs to the species Tropceolum peregrinum. For use in beds and borders, as well as in window- and porch-boxes, the Dwarf or Tom Thumb Nasturtiums are especially desirable. There are scores of varieties of these, many of them very beautiful. There is also an attractive variation in the colors of the foliage, some sorts having leaves of very light green, while others have leaves of very dark green. The leaves are shield-shaped and the en- tire plant is smooth. The Tall or Running Nas- turtiums yield much more foliage than do the dwarf varieties. They are able to climb by means of their leaf stems, which coil around whatever sup- ports are available. The whole plant is more robust than the Tom Thumb forms, although, like the latter, it is smooth in all its parts. These nasturtiums grow luxuriantly under favorable conditions of soil and moisture, and yield blossoms of good size and in many varieties of excellent colors. The Lobs Nasturtiums are characterized by having all the parts of the plant except the under side of the leaves more or less hairy. This species has been much hybridized with.
