winter south of Philadelphia. Further north they must be pro¬ 
tected or wintered in the cellar like the ordinary Tritoma.

be planted out very early in the spring, and will commence 
growth and bloom at once, growing larger and liner every day.

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
