 1330 Hybrida, The introduction 

 of new, early and continuous- 

 flowering Tritomas has given 

 them a prominent place among 

 bedding plants. It is not gen- 

 erally known that they are 

 readily grown from seed, many 

 flowering the fir^t year if sown 

 early. The seed we offer has 

 been saved from our own 

 collection, which is undoubt- 

 edly the finest in this country, 

 and which is described on 

 page 199. Of course, for im- 

 mediate results it will be better 

 to get plants, but raising them 

 from seed is highly interest- 

 ing. (See cut.) 25
