Firefly Cuphea 
Firefly Cuphea 
In our quest for a plant which is 
dwarf, compact, neat in habit, and 
showy for pot-plant sale, it is very grati¬ 
fying to be able to offer this new easily 
grown annual. The flowers are small 
and delicately formed, fiery cerise-red in 
color, and are freely produced on the 
compact plants which grow 10 to 12 
inches high with a spread of about 12 
inches. A plant when in full bloom re¬ 
sembles a ball of fire. It is a tender 
annual, flowering readily in 12 to 14 
weeks from the time the seed is sown, 
and blooming profusely throughout the 
summer months. We strongly urge all 
who grow pot-plants for sale to try Fire¬ 
fly Cuphea this year as we believe it will 
be a money-maker. Pkt. 20 cts.; y^oz. 
30 cts.; 34 0z * 90 cts.; 34 oz * $1-60.
