TRITO MA, Nat. Ord. I/iliacecB. Majestic and beautiful hardy perennial. 
Trlto'ma glauces'cens. The long spikes of bright /lame-scarlet flowers of the Tritoma suggested 
the popular appellation, “ I he Red-hot Poker Plant." Glaucescens is in flower throughout the 
summer ; Grandis continues the succession to Christmas. Throughout Nov. 1878 when few 
other plants were flowering in our Experimental Grounds Grandis was conspicuous'; its Ion"- 
handsome spikes of scarlet, with the successional spikes following on, proving this to be a winter^- 
blooming plant. In shrubberies and for naturalization, the majestic effect of these plants is 
unsurpassed. It is preferable to purchase plants rather than seed of the Tritoma, the plants of

VI'OLA (Heartsease or Pausy), Nat. Ord. Violn'coat. Hardy perennials. 
In the spring power garden the Pansy ( Viola tricolor ) blooms continuously, and produces a matchless effect i?i 
designs, beds, and ribbons. From seed the colours cannot be implicitly depended upon ; they should , therefore, be 
transplanted from the seed-bed and Powered before f /tally planting out. Seed sown in spring, flowers during the 
rummer; sown in summer, flowers in autumn. With a little attention, the Pansy can be made a charming 
plant for summer decoration. The varieties of Viola are very important, succeeding in situations where the 
Pansy is a failure. V tola odorata flower in winter , and are prized for their fragrance. For plants of Pansies 
and Violas, see Bulb Catalogue, pp. 41 and 42.
