TRITOM^A (Ked-hot Poker, Flame Flower, or Torch L.ily> 



Until the inlroiiiiction of the variety I'fitzerii the Tiitomas WL-re only used in a limited way 

 the mixed border, or as specimens on the lawn, but the early, free ami continuous blooming qua 

 ties of this variety have made it one of the great bedding plants, and when we consider that, out- 

 side of Cannas and Geraniums, there are few plants which are sail able for massing under our 

 severe climatic conditions, it is liltle wonder that such an excellent subject should at once becnnie 

 popular. 



All the varieties offered are worthy of cultivation ; they are hardy if given protection, but the 

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