TRITOMA 



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



4330 Hybrida. The introduction of new, 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. The seed we offer has been saved 

 from our own collection, which is undoubtedly the finest 

 in this country. Of course, for immediate results it will 

 be better to get plants, but raising them from seed is highly 

 interesting. 2 pkts. , 25 cts. ... 15
