XRITOMA (Red-hot Poker, Flame Flower, or Torch Lily) 



Pfitzerii {The Evcrblooming Flame Flower). The early free and continuous blooming qualities 

 of this variety has made it one of the great bedding plants. Succeeds in any ordinary garden 

 soil, but responds quickly to liberal treatment; hardy if given protection, but the 

 most satisfactory method of wintering is to bury the roots in sand in a cool cellar. 

 In bloom from August to October, with spikes 3 to 4 feet high, and heads of bloom of a 

 rich orange-scarlet, producing a grand effect either planted singly in the border or in 

 masses. (See cut.) 30 cts. each; S2.50 per doz.; 818.00 per 100.
