NEMESIA. This is one of the most beautiful dwarf annuals 
I have ever seen. The plants which grow just 6 to 8 inches 
high in bushy form, are covered with and bear continuously

gorgeous color shadings, many of them so richly marked, 
margined, and shaded as to be too beautiful for words to 
describe. These giant flowers include the richest shades of 
lavender and gold, red with silver rim, garnet, canary- 
yellow, purple, rose, bronze, blue, lavender, black, white, 
and red. Be sure to include this mixture in your order.
