Double and Singlh Swekt William. 



TRITOMA. 



(Red-hot Poker, Flame Flower, or Torch Lilv.) _ 



rp.ii PKT. 



4330 Hybrida. The intrtxiiiclion of new, continuous flow- 

 ering 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 rais- 

 ing them from seed is highly interesting. 2pkts.,25cts 15. 



SIVEET WILLIAM (Dianth„.Barb«tu.). 

 (London Tufts.) 



A well-known attractive, free-flowering hardy perennial, producing a splendid 

 effect in beds and borders with their lich and varied flowers. It is much better 

 to raise new, vigorous, young plants from seed every season than to divide the 

 old plants.
