NIEREMBERGIA HIPPOMANICA 
Dwarf Cup Flower, P 
With the possible exception of Zinnia Linearis, Nierembergia 
Hippomanica will outbloom any flower we have grown. It 
starts flowering when the plants are only about two inches tall, 
that is about 15 weeks after the seed is sown, and keeps on up 
until heavy frosts of late fall. It is at all times neat and tidy 
looking, the young flowers coming and covering older flowers 
and seed pods. Lovely lavender-blue shade. 5 in. Pkt. 25e. 
Nierembergia Purple Robe. We are this year introducing 
Nierembergia Purple Robe, a very fine deep violet purple

extremely free flowering habit, is only 6 inches tall, with a 
mature spread of some 10 to 12 inches. A half-hardy perennial, 
Purple Robe blooms the first year from seed in about 15 
weeks. Pkt. 35e.
