Nierembergia Hippomanica 
1524—DWARF CUP FLOWER. We believe this 
to be the most prolific bloomer of all. It starts 
flowering when the plants are only about two 
inches tall, and keeps on right up until the 
heavy frosts of late fall. It is at all times neat 
and tidy looking, the young flowers coming 
and covering the old flowers and seed pods as 
the plant grows. The lovely lavender blue 
shade, heightened by a touch of yellow in the 
center is most charming. Plants are dwarf and 
compact, not over six inches tall, with a spread 
of only 8 to 10 inches. Foliage is light grey 
green, not heavy, and there are literally hun- 
dreds of flowers in bloom at a time through- 
out the summer. Lovely in window boxes or 
flower pots. Plant in fall or early spring. Very 
hardy. Pkt., 25c; 5 pkts., $1.00, postpaid.

Suggestions for Sowing Petunias 
Petunias are very easy to grow but for earliest blooms and best results, especially for 
the large flowering and double sorts, sow Petunias in a seed-box or flat in January and 
February. Fill seed-box with a mixture of 50% good rich garden soil and 50% sand. Pour 
boiling water through soil-mixture to sterilize, then when dry smooth surface finely and 
merely PRESS seeds (treated first with SEMESAN) into the soil and in rows. Place burlap 
bag or heavy cloth over top of box and slowly water through this daily. Keep covered until 
seeds sprout then remove bag and place box where seedlings may receive sunlight. After 
Petunias’ have developed four leaves they may be transplanted. In order to “harden off’ 
plants before transplanting outdoors, expose to outside temperature on several mild days 
Petunia seeds may be sown in open ground, outdoors, after danger of frost has passed, 
covering lightly with fine soil. To facilitate sowing mix seed with sand or fine earth. Petunias 
do best in a rich light soil with plenty of sunshine.
