Trollius. or Globe Flower 



TRITOMA 



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



The early, free and continuous blooming qualities of the newer varieties 

 have made Tritomas one of the great bedding plants, and when we consider 

 that there are few flowering plants which are suitable for massing under our 

 severe climatic conditions, it is little wonder that such elegant subjects should 

 become so popular. 



All the varieties offered are worthy of cultivation, succeeding in any ordi- 

 nary garden soil, but responding quickly to liberal treatment; they are hardy 

 if given protection,, but the most satisfactory method of wintering is to bury 

 the roots in sand in a cool cellar. 



Pfitzerli (17ie JEverblooming Flame Flower). 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
