TRITOMA 
(Diener's Hybrids) (Red Hot Pokers) 
Tritomas are some of the most showy plants we 
have and attract much attention. Our hybrids are 
the largest in height and length of flower clusters. 
Stems range from four to six feet tall. The colors 
are yellow, coral, orange and scarlet. In very cold 
climates these plants should be taken out of the 
ground and stored like Dahlias in the cellar through 
the winter. The seeds take from four to six weeks 
to come up and should be kept very moist.

TRITOMA RUFA HYBRIDS 
Tritoma Rufa is a small ever-flowering variety 
which Mr. Diener crossed with the others and ob¬ 
tained a strain which flowers almost continually. 
They are very free-flowering, making stems two to 
three feet long. Very valuable for cut flowers and 
bedding. 
Directions: Sow Tritoma seeds out in boxes or pans filled 
with sandy leaf mould. Cover 1/6 of an inch with the same soil 
and keep moist and shaded. They will not come up for six 
weeks. 
Package 25c 6 packages $1.00 
TRITOMA (Dwarf Varieties) 
White, Pink and Yellow mixed. (No separate col¬ 
ors.) A wonderful mixture of very free flowering 
new Tritomas with 12- to 18-inch stems. Excellent 
for cut flowers and bedding. Quite hardy, but should 
be covered with leaves or straw in locations where 
the temperature goes below zero.
