Nasturtiums.

Xa?hirtia3!s can be grown during the winter In ant warm room that has a sunny window. Strong sunshine is absoioteij necessary, windows that hate only a little sunshine, morning or afternoon, will n*>t give good results. The Pennsylvania department of agriculture rwimmemls the filling of a p«‘t six inches in diameter nearly full of soil: after it is pressed down there must be a space about three-quarters of an inch between the top of the soil and the top of the pot. This is to enable one to thoroughly water the soil. In -the canter place three or four seeds of a climbing nasturtium, putting about half an inch below the surface of the soil. Then place the pot in the sonny window and provide a trellis of strings.. The important thing to remember Is that while the seeds are germinating and the plant young, great care must be taken not to provide too much water and so sour the soil. .
