Nierembergia 
Culture—Start Seed Indoors as Early as Possible 
1489 HIPPOMANICA, (Dwarf Cup Flower). Of 
all the new introductions during the past few 
years, none has caused as much comment as this 
little Nierembergia or Dwarf Cup Flower. It will 
outbloom any other Annual. It starts flowering 
when the plants are only about two inches tall, 
that is about 15 weeks after the seeds are sown, 
and keeps right on until the heavy frosts of late 
fall. Neat at all times, new flowers always covering 
the old ones. Lovely lavender-blue, with a touch 
of yellow in the center, and most charming. Plants 
definitely dwarf, compact, 5 to 6 inches tall, and 
with a spread of 8 to 10 inches. Unexcelled for 
edging, for borders, to outline beds of taller 
flowers, for Rock Gardens or for window boxes. 
Half-hardy perennial will winter over if given 
some protection. The plants should be cut back 
at the end of the season and will send out fresh 
growth in the spring. Pkt. 25c. 
Cosmos 
Culture D or E—See Page 4 
626 ORANGE FLARE. Gold Medal, All-America. 
A startlingly beautiful flower of vivid orange, 
blooms in profusion from early summer until 
late frosts. The foliage is light green and the 
plants bushy, making a grand and useful annual 
for a background where height is desired and at 
the same time providing a wealth of color for the 
garden and for cut-flowers. The color of the flower 
and the type of foliage resemble Marigold, but 
the form of Orange Flare flowers is the true Cosmos 
which is so dainty and lovely. Pkt. lOc; 38 oz. 
25c.
