TRITOMA (Red-hot Poker, Flame Flower, or Torch Lily), 
Until the introduction of the variety Pfitzerii the Tritomas were only used in a limited way in 
the mixed border, or as specimens on the lawn, but the early, free and continuous blooming 
qualities of this variety have made it one of the great bedding plants, and when we consider 
that there are few plants which are suitable for massing under our severe climatic conditions, it 
is little wonder that such an excellent subject should at once become 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.
