TRITOiVlAS.— Red-hot Pokers, Flame Flowers or Torch Lilies. 



UNTIL the introduction of the variety Pfitzerii the Tritomas were used only in a limited way in the mixed border, or as speci- 

 mens on the lawn, but the early, free and continuous blooming qualities of our color-plate subject have made it one of the 

 good bedding plants, and when we consider that, outside of Cannas and Geraniums, 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. 



Visitors to the Pan-American Exposition, during the summer and autumn of 1901, will no doubt remember our large bed of 

 this showy variety, which, from July until the close of the Exposition, attracted more attention than any other display in the Horti- 

 cultural department. 



All the varieties offered are worthy of cultivation ; especially the newer sorts ; they are hardy if given the protection of a few 

 inches of leaves or litter. 

 Pfitzerii ( The Everblooming Flame Flower'), The freest 



dowering variety in cultivation, with spikes from 3 to 4j feet 



high and heads of bloom over 12 inches long of a rich orange- 

 scarlet, shading to salmony-rose at edges, producing a grand 



effect whether planted singly in the border or in masses or 



beds of a dozen, a hundred or in thousands. (See color 



plate opposite.) 25 cts. each ; $2.50 per doz.; $15.00 per 100.

 ing freely medium-sized spikes of coral-red flowers, shading

Carnation yet introduced, with a i 



richness of color not found in any 



a fine large flower on a stout, stiff s 

 Enchantress. Soft, delicate pink

 ably free; 21- to 3 feet high, with large spikes of brilliant 

 orange-scarlet. 75 cts. each. 



Otto Mann (New). A strong grower, with spikes 3 to 4 feet

 fine contrast between the upper and lower half of the flower 

 head. 75 cts. each. 



Triumph (New) A remarkably strong-growing variety that 

 frequently produces flower heads 16 inches long on stems 3 

 to 3 J feet high; these have the peculiaiity of branching 'at 

 the base, throwing out two to four side shoots of perfect, but 

 smaller heads of blcom, giving the whole a most unique ap- 

 pearance ; in color it is also quite distinct, being a rich 

 golden-yellow. $2.50 each. 



CYNANCHUM 



ACUTUM. 



A graceful hardy climber, with 

 glaucous-green small foliage and 

 axillary and terminal heads of 

 small white flowers, in which 

 small insects are held captive 

 when they enter ; perfectly hardy, 

 coming up each season from the 

 root. Ready April 1st. 25 cts. 

 each. 



THE SHASTA 



DAISY. 



(Chrysanthemum Leucanthe- 

 miim Hybritlum.) 



Probably no hardy plant has ever 

 been so highly spoken of in the 

 American Horticultural Press as thi 

 production of Luther Burbank, the 

 suit of crossing our native field D; 

 with some of the choicer European vari 

 ties, and bearing beautiful clear, glistei 

 white flowers often over 4 inch* 

 diameter, and in bloom continuously fr 

 in summer until late in fall; perfectly h 

 protection, even in the most exposed lc 

 each ; $1.50 per doz. 



Ville de Lyon. Hybridizers have grown thousands of seed- 

 lings in their efforts to get a rich, red, large-flowering Cle- 

 matis. The variety here offered is the finest secured to date. It 

 was first exhibited at the Paris Exposition in 1901, where it 

 was awarded a Gold Medal. It is of the Jackmani type, with 

 the same vigorous growth and free-flowering characteristics, but 

 with flowers of a bright carmine. Strong one-year-old plants, 

 $1.25 each. 



Integrifolia Durandi. A cross between the small-flowered 

 herbaceous C. integrifolia and C. Jackmani ; of semi-climbing 

 habit, growing about 4 feet and producing without intermis- 

 sion from early in June till late in fall showy indigo-blue flow- 



lie New Chrysan- 

 themums. 



offer but two new sorts this season, 

 l of sterling merit and awarded 

 lest honors last fall, and which prom- 

 e to fill important places in the 

 future. 



Mile. Marie Liger. Awarded the 

 premium offered by the Chrysanthe- 

 mum Society of America at the 

 Paris Exposition, 1900. Very 

 large flowers, of great depth, of 

 fine form and color, which is 

 a pleasing pearly pink, which 

 deepens to a very bright shade 

 at the base of the petals. 

 Yellow Timothy Eaton. 

 This " sport " is. identical to the 

 white variety in every way ex- 

 cept color, which is a fine bfil- 

 iant yellow. 

 Ready April 1st. 50. cts each ; 

 $5. 00 per doz. 



Baby Pompone 

 Chrysanthemum. 



Not new, but such a dainty, per- 

 fect little gem that we feel justified 

 in calling special attention to its merits, 

 nteresting on account of its being the 

 allest flowering of all, measuring only 

 h across, and for the perfect manner in 

 he little flowers are formed, which are 

 in outline as the finest large-flowered 

 artery; color a bright lemon-yellow, 

 duced in great profusion, but it always 



perfects its flowers in the open border. 15 cts. each; 



$1.50 per doz. 



THREE VALUABLE CLEMATIS. 



Clematis Indivisa. 



ers 3 to 3i inches in diameter ; a splendid acquisition and a 

 gem for the hardy border. Strong plants, $1.00 each. 

 Indivisa. This is not a new species, but one that is rarely 

 met with, and which is worthy of extended cultivation. Not 

 being hardy, it requires the protection of a cool greenhouse, 

 and may be said to be one of the most valuable of all green- 

 house climbers. Its pure white flowers are from 1-J- to 2 inches 

 in diameter, and produced in panicles frequently two feet 

 long. A well-established plant during the early spring months 

 is simply a mass of bloom ; the flowers can be used to good 

 advantage in a cut state. The plant is evergreen and at all 

 times attractive. $1.00 each.
