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



Pfitzerii {The Everblooming Flame Flower). The early free and continu- 

 ous blooming qualities of this variety has made it one of the great bedding 

 plants, and when we consider that there are few flowering plants which are 

 suitable for massing under our severe climatic conditions, it is little wonder that 

 such an elegant subject should become so popular. Succeeds in any ordinary 

 garden soil, but responds quickly to liberal treatment; hardy if given protec- 

 tion, but the most satisfactory method of wintering is to bury the roots in sand 

 in a cool cellar. In bloom from August to October, with spikes 3 to 4 feet 

 high, and heads of bloom of a rich orange-scarlet, producing a grand effect 

 either planted singly in the border or in masses, (See cut.) 30 cts. each;
