TRITOMA. 



(Ked-hot Poker, name Flower, or Torch Lily 



PER PKT 



4330 Hybrida. The introduction of new, 

 early and 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 collection, which is un- 

 doubtedly the finest in this country. Of 

 course, for immediate results it will be 

 better to gel plants, but raising them from 

 seed is highly interesting. (See cut.). . . . 25

BRKER'S MAMMOTH YEBENAS 



We have been carefully selecting and improving this fine 

 strain of Verbenas for years, and can recommend it as the 

 very best procurable. The trusses and individ- 

 ual flowers are of the largest size, of brilliant 

 colors; free-blooming and of vigorous habit. 

 For best results seed should be sown early in 

 the house or hotbed, and transplanted to flower- 

 ing quarters in May. Verbenas are belter 

 grown from seed than from cuttings, being mor 

 vigorous and not liable to disease. (See cut.)
