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 illus- 
tration. It can be planted out early in the 
Spring, and will soon begin to bloom and con- 
tinue to throw up its gorgeous spikes of splen- 
did flowers the whole season, until the ground 
is hard frozen. It is quite hardy here, when 
given a light covering of leaves or garden litter, . 
but further north the roots should be lifted and 
r\ EW kept in the cellar over-Winter, buried in sand. 
fF oO a Early frosts do not hurt it, or keep it from 
YX Frerioony blooming, and it continues as brilliant as ever 
LV TRITOMA, long after other flowers are gone. It is unsur- j 
passed for cutting, and its grand flame-colored 
pompons will keep for weeks in water. Can 
scarcely be recommended too highly for beds 
and borders. Itis agrand plant in every way. .

HIS is really a splendid ornamental plant for the garden or 
lawn, resembles the Caladium Esculentum or Elephant’s 
Ears in some respects but is much finer and a CONSTANT 
BLOOMER. It likes good rich earth and plenty of heat and mois- 
ture and frequently grows 5 to 6 feet high with leaves 3 feet long 
by 2 feet wide, beautifully veined and bright glossy green; 
begins to bloom when well established and throws up immense 
snow-white flowers like Giant Calla Lilies all through the grow- 
ing season, and if kept in the greenhouse will bloom all Winter. 
The flowers are pure white, but soon change to pale yellow, and
