SOME NOTABLE HARDY PLANTS.-Continued. 
TRITOMAS. 
TRITOriAS. 
The Tritomas which are variously known as Torch Lilies, Flame 
Flowers or Red Hot Pokers are among the most striking and decorative 
garden plants grown. They bloom in late summer and fall and are often 
seen in bloom after hard frosts when everything else has disappeared from 
the garden. They are not perfectly hardy but live through the winter in 
well drained soil if protected with a covering of manure, or they can be 
dug up, packed in sand and stored in a cold cellar over winter. 1 offer a fine 
collection of varieties.

ORIENTAL POPPIES. 
I remember very well the first time I saw an Oriental Poppy. I was a 
boy then and it excited me wonderfully, and I thought it the most remark¬ 
able flower in the world, and now after twenty-five years have gone by and 
1 have seen almost all the known flowers of the world I am still of the 
opinion that it is mighty fine, striking and effective, and I have taken the 
trouble to gather up and have grown a collection of all the varieties. The 
flowers are immense in size, often 8 to 12 inches in diameter. The colors 
are salmon pink, orange-red and brilliant crimson-scarlet. I offer a fine lot 
of plants in mixed colors at $1.50 per dozen, $9.00 per 100. 
AQUILEGIAS. 
All of the single long-spurred Aquilegias or Col¬ 
umbines are extremely beautiful, and a collection 
of them should be a feature in every garden. 
Foremost among these choice plants is our native 
Aquilegias. II these and other choice hardy plants 
were as well known as bedding plants the day of 
geraniums, coleus and other commonplace plants 
would soon be over. The flowers of these Aqui¬ 
legias are most lovely and delicate, ranging from 
white to crimson, including shades of blue and yel¬ 
low, assorted varieties ; each 15 cts.; $1.25 per doz.; 
$9.00 per 100. For complete list of varieties see 
general list of hardy plants. 
AGROSTEMMAS. 
These plants are extremely desirable both on 
account of their beautiful silvery foliage and their 
charming rose-tinted, crimson or white flowers, 
which are fine for cutting. A splendid stock of 
plants; each 15 cents ; $1.25 per doz.; $9.00 per 100. 
LIATRIS PYCNOSTACHYA. 
The popular name of this striking plant is 
Kansas Gay Feather. Nothing can be planted that 
will attract more attention on account of a very 
unusal appearance, but it is very beautiful as well 
as odd. It blooms in mid-summer and throws up 
long narrow spikes of rich purple flowers which 
last a long time; a pecularity of this plant is its 
great attract ion for butterflies ; 15 cents each ; $1.50 
per dozen ; $10.00 per 100. 
SCOTCH THISTLES. 
My curiosity led me to grow a lot of Scotch 
Thistles, and I found they were the most decora¬ 
tive plants I had in my garden. They are bold 
and fine in form and the leaves look as if they 
were plated with silver. They grow four to five 
feet high and produce in June large purple flowers. 
They are biennials and die the second year imme¬ 
diately after flowering, but are renewed annually 
from self-sown seed ; 25 cts. each ; $2.50 per dozen.
