TRITOMA PFITZERII 



or Torch Lily] 



An improved variety of the "Red Hot Poker Plant" 

 or "Torch Lily." It flowers continuously throughout 

 the season. Large spikes of brilliant flame color, rich 

 yellow at base, with long stalks gracefully posed above 

 the rich green foliage. A bed of this in bloom is a grand 

 sight : a border of it around Cannas is admirable. Price, 

 35c. each; $3.50 per doz. 



VALERIANA OFFICINALIS 



or Hardy Garden Heliotrope 



This plant was greatly prized in old-fashioned hardy 

 gardens for its strong heliotrope fragrance. Produces 

 showy heads of rose-tinted white flowers during June 

 and July. Price, 35c. each; $3.50 per doz. 



YUCCA FILAMENTOSA 



or Adams Needle 



One of the nardiest and showiest plants we have. 

 The flower spikes are borne in huge panicles above the 

 sword-shaped foliage, which in itself has a sub-tropical 

 effect. The large, white, waxy blooms are drooping in 

 habit and the plant, whether in bloom or not, presents 

 a highly ornamental effect. It can be used to advantage 

 in any situation. Price, 50c. each; $5.00 per doz.
