Ever-Blooming “RED HOT POKER PLANT." 
This new variety is a marvelous improvement 
over the old well-known ” Red Hot Poker ” plant. 
It is a very free blooming sort, flowering continu¬ 
ously throughout the season. The flowers are large 
spikes of brilliant flame color, with long stalks 
gracefully poised above the rich green foliage. A 
bed of this in bloom is a grand sight; a border of it 
around Cannas is admirable; scattered throughout 
the flower garden it adds grace and brightness and 
Is in its glory when nearly all other flowers are seared 
with early frosts. The roots should be dug up 
before hard frost and kept in sand in the cellar 
during winter. (See cut.) Price, 30c. each, S3.00
