 this beautiful species is yet but little known. We consider 

 it one of the real gems among hardy plants, not only for the 

 garden but its dainty, graceful sprays of flowers, elegantly 

 arranged on stems 4 feet high, are invaluable for cutting; 

 the flowers are of charming shade of violet-mauve, which 

 is brightened by a bunch of lemon-yellow stamens and

Tritoma 



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



4330 Hybrida. The introduction of new, continuous flowering 

 Tritomas has given them a prominent place among hardy 

 bedding plants. It is not generally known that they are 

 readily grown from seed, many flowering the first year if 

 sown early. 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 raising them from seed is highly interesting. 2 pkts.,
