ACHIMENES or Cupid’s Bow 
Few plants can equal the loveliness and appeal of a pot of Achimenes in full bloom ... 
one of the best summer flowering plants for growing in pots, hanging baskets and porch 
boxes. Cupid’s Bower grows well in any part of the U. S. except dry, arid regions. They 
thrive best in partial shade along with plenty or warmth and humidity. The tiny tuber- 
cles are planted from December through April, and bloom from late spring until fall. 
The tiny catkinlike tubercles multiply very rapidly and by the end of the first year you 
will have sufficient increase to plant many additional pots the following spring. 
For the best display plant 6 tubercles to a 6”’ bulb pan.
