TRITOMA PFITZERH. 



Tritoma Pfitzerii. 



Ever-Blooming "RED HOT POKER PLANT." 



This new variety is a marvelous improvement 

 over the old well-known " Red Hot Poker " plant. 

 It is a very free blooming sort, flowering continu- 

 ously throughout the season. The flowers are large 

 spikes of brilliant flame color, with long stalks 

 gracefully poised above the rich green foliage. A 

 bed of this in bloom is a grand sight; a border of it 

 around Cannas is admirable; scattered throughout 

 the flower garden it adds grace and brightness and 

 is in its glory when nearly all other flowers are seared 

 with early frosts. The roots should be dug up 

 before hard frost and kept in sand in the cellar 

 during winter. (See cut.) Price, 30c. each, $3.00 

 per doz. 



Hardy Double English Violet. 



This violet is entirely hardy, perfectly double, a 

 deep violet-purple color and most deliciously frag- 

 rant. It surpasses the well-known " Marie Louise " 

 Violet in richness of color, being many shades darker, and far ex- 

 cels it in its delightful odor; this is one of its greatest merits. It 

 is entirely free from disease of any kind, will grow and bloom in 

 any garden and in any situation. Nothing is more appropriate 

 for cemetery plots than the Hardy Double English Violet. (See 

 cut.) Price, 1st size, 40c. each, §4.00 per doz., $25.00 per 100. 

 Young plants, 20c. each, $2.00 per doz., $15.00 per 100. 



Winter- Flo we ring Violet. 



Marie Louise. This is the variety which is grown by the million 

 to supply the cut-flower markets of the country. It is not 

 hardy in the North. Rich purple; fragrant and double. Large 

 plants, 20c. each, $2.00 per doz. Small plants, 10c. each, $1.00 

 per doz. 



Large- Flowering Single Violets. 



Rudbeckia, " Golden Glow." 



The most popular ever-blooming hardy plant grown. Covered during the 

 season with double yellow flowers resembling chrysanthemums very closely. 

 It attains a height of from 6 to 8 feet, and a small plant set out in the spring 

 will produce hundreds of blossoms. Price, 15c. each, 4 for 50c, 9 for §1.00, 

 12 for $1.25. 



Salvia Splendens, "Scarlet Dragoon." 



This is immensely superior to the old Salvia Splendens, or Scarlet Sage. 

 The flowers are nearly double the size, the spikes often measure 6 inches across. 

 It blooms more profusely, is a stronger grower and an even more intense shade 

 of vivid dazzling scarlet. Price, 10c. each, SI. 00 per doz., S6.00 per 100. 



Salvia " Tom Thumb." This is of dwarf, compact growth. For bedding 

 it is unsurpassed in brilliant effect, either planted alone or as a front row for 

 Salvia " Scarlet Dragoon." Price, 10c. each, $1.00 per doz., $6.00 per 100.
