ALOHA FLOWER 
NEMESIA 
A Beautiful Flower From 
Hawaii 
In far off Hawaii one of my 
friends saw this flower, and 
brought me my first seeds of 
it. There it is known as 
“Aloya,” which is their name 
for “good luck.” 
This Aloha or Good Luck 
flower is a very pretty annual 
which succeeds best in a 
rather cool place. The plants 
grow about a foot high, and 
during the summer are cover¬ 
ed with flowers of every 
known color, with markings 
and colorings as beautiful as 
those of the orchid. This 
flower can bo grown in the 
house, but care must be taken 
that they do not get too 
warm. When in the garden 
out of doors, the best show 
will bo obtained from plants 
set six inches apart. Pkt. 150 
seeds, 8c.

AFFINIS. When 
its large pure white

has a most striking 
effect and is so fra¬

whole surrounding 
atmosphere. If the

the fall, cut back and
