Nasturtium Golden Gleam .
A Carden Corner.
r PHIS 1932 novelty has made good and will be extensively grown in the future. Its colour is very attractive—a rich golden yellow, and although not strictly a double flower, it has extra petals which justify the term and lend beauty and refinement to its decorative value. We have a true double Nasturtium in the perennial scarlet Herman Grashof,
which does not produce seed and is propagated by cuttings. Golden Gleam sets seed quite freely in the same way as the other annual forms. It is, after all, only a selection, having occurred by accidental break, in the same way that the Duplex Sweet Pea was secured. It is therefore only a matter of a rear or two before other colours In semi-double Nasturtiums will be available. T. D. LENNIE.
