THE EVER-BLOOMING TRITOMA PFITZERII 
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 November. Plants perfectly hardy in open ground all 
winter south of Philadelphia. Further north they must be pro¬ 
tected or wintered in the cellar like the ordinary Tritoma. 
Just bury the roots in sand; nothing more is required. Should 
be planted out very early in the spring, and will commence 
growth and bloom at once, growing larger and finer every day. 
Plants show six to twenty grand flower stalks all the time, 
each holding at a height of three to four feet a cluster of 
flame-colored flowers of indescribable beauty and brilliancy. 
Each cluster keeps perfect several weeks, and when it fades 
several more are ready to take its place. Fall frosts do not 
kill it or stop its blooming, and it is as brilliant as ever long 
after all other garden flowers have been killed. For cutting 
it is unsurpassed, and the beautiful long spikes keep several 
weeks in water. Strong plants that will bloom the first summer, 
75 cents per dozen; $5.00 per hundred; $45.00 per thousand.
