RED HOT POKER “its, 
| or New Flaming Torch Plant 
ROWS from the root and throws up strong 
stems 2 to 3 feet high, bearing large clusters 
of brilliant orange-scarlet flowers in elegant 
pompons, 6 to 8 inches long and 2 to 3 inches 
across, as shown in our illustration. It can be 
planted out early in the Spring, and will svon 
begin to bloom and continue to throw up its 
gorgeous spikes of splendid flowers the whole 
season, until the ground is hard frozen. It is quite 
hardy here, when given alight covering of leaves 
or garden litter, but further north the roots should 
be lifted and kept in cellar all Winter, buried in 
sand. Early frosts do not hurt it, or keep it from 
blooming, and it continues as brilliant as ever long 
after other flowers are gone. It is unsurpassed for 
cutting, and its grand flame-colored pompons 
will keep for weeks in water. Can scarcely be 
recommended too highly for beds and borders. 
It is a grand plant in every way.
