PER PKT. 



Tritoma TJvaria. A most interesting plant, that ought to be in every garden. The flower-

 colors varying from yellow to deep scarlet, giving it somewhat the appearance of a 

 heated bar of iron, hence it is vulgarly called "Red-Hot Poker Plant." It continues 

 in bloom from July to October, grown either singly or in masses, produces a striking 

 effect 25
