JOHN LEWIS CHILDS, FLORAL PARK, N. Y. 
THE EVER BLOOMING TRITOMA. 
The greatest bedding plant ever introduced, surpassing the finest Cannas for attractiveness and brilliancy, equal to the 
Gladiolus as a cut flower and blooms incessantly from June until December, regardless of frost. Plants perfectly hardy In 
open ground all winter south of Philadelphia; further north they must be protected or wintered in a cellar like the 
ordinary Tritoma. Jlist bury the roots in sand : nothing morn is required. Should be planted out very early in spring, and 
will commence growth and bloom at once, growing larger and finer every day. Plants show from 6 to 20 grand flower 
stalks all the time, each holding at a height of 3 to 4 feet a great cluster of flame colored flowers of Indescribable beauty 
and brilliancy. Each cluster keeps perfect several weeks, and when it fades 2or 3 more are ready to take its place. Fall 
frosts do not kill it or stop its blooming, and it isas brilliant as ever long after all other garden flowers have been killed. 
For cutting it is unsurpassed, as the beautiful long spikes keep several weeks in water. Without a single exception, it is 
I the most desirable garden flower. It has created a sensation in the New York cut flower market., and will be a great factor 
among cut flowers in future. Stnong plants that will soon bloom, 40c. each ; 3 for $1.00; 7 for $2.00. Seed. 15c. per pkt.
