Tbitoma Pfitzekii. 



XRITOMA (Red-hot Poker. Raine Rower, or Torch Uly). 



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

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

 sider 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 or- 

 dinary 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. 



Pfitzerii [The Everblooming Flame Flower). In bloom from Aug- 

 ust to November, with spikes from 3 to 4 feet high and heads of bloom 

 of a rich orange-scarlet, producing a grand effect either planted singly

 50 cts. each. 

 Tricolor. A charming small-flowered sort, in which three distinct colors

 white; very free-flowering; August to October; 2h feet. 25 cts. each; 

 $2.50 per doz.
