 introduction of 

 new continuous 

 flowering Tritomas 

 has given them a 

 prominent place 

 among hardy 

 bedding plants. It 

 is not generally 

 known that they 

 are readily grown 

 from seed, many 

 flowering the first 

 year if sown early. 

 The seed we offer 

 has been saved 

 from our own col- 

 lection, which is undoubtedly the finest in this country. Of course for 

 immediate results it will be better to get plants, but rasising them from 

 seed is highly interesting. 2 pkts., 25 cts $0 15
