3408 Tritoma Pfitzers Hybrids 
Also called “Torch Lily,” “Bed Hot Poker” and 
“Flame Flower.” Every one loves Tritomas for their 
grandeur as a cut-flower where something of stately 
beauty is desired. About the most striking bouquet we 
have ever seen was one of 12 huge Tritomas in a large 
green glass vase, with a huge bow of satin ribbon of the 
same green as the stems and vase, laid artistically near. 
Tritomas are fine, too for showy garden flowers. This 
strain of Pfitzer’s Hybrids has great waxy flowers of 
rich Orange-Scarlet, making a splash of vivid color.
