CUPFLOWER 
(Nierembergia Hippomanica) 
T esting new plants for over fifty 
years we have never seen a plant 
which produced the tremendous 
quantity of blooms that the new Dwarf 
Cup Flower does. Last year the plant 
was completely covered with flowers by Decoration Day. It was still completely 
covered on October 1st. Throughout the spring and summer the plants had 
so many flowers that it was almost impossible to see the foliage. 
We have never tested a plant which had so many uses. For filling in holes 
in the shrubbery or the flower garden, as an edging plant or in a rockery, for 
window boxes or for pot culture, it is equally valuable. As a bedding plant 
or for cemetery work we do not believe its equal exists. It is gorgeous in 
any situation. 
The introducer says that it is not quite hardy and will require some pro¬ 
tection. However, as this is written (January 15th) our own test plants have 
not been damaged by the winter. Hardy or not, it is one of the cheapest as 
well as the finest things that can be planted. It costs only about half as much 
as such common bedding plants as Geraniums, which produce only five or 
six blooms a year against a thousand Cupflowers. 
The color of the flowers is a lovely lavender-blue with a touch of gold at 
the center. The foliage is gray-green and the plant grows about six inches tall.
