they must be protected 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 
tw’enty grand flow^er 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.

spikes keep several weeks In water. Strong plants that

glistening waxy white. We recommend this to all florists 
as the best thing in Moon Vines. As we always sell out

had better place your order early. Our stock of fifty

as a snow bank on a warm May morning. 60 cents pex

with reddish-purple rays, and are six Inches across.
