NEW TRITOMAS 
Do you have a dry and sun baked spot in your garden that has proved unsuitable for what per- 
ennials you now have? Then try some of the colorful new tritomas. The hottest sun and any 
soil that has drainage will accommodate any of these hybrid Red Hot Pokers which are hardy 
almost anywhere. Some are in flower from June until frost. All are wonderful keepers as cut 
flowers and their graceful form in floral arrangements is most pleasing. A 3 or 4 year old clump 
will be one of the most spectacular subjects in your garden. 
CULTURE: TRITOMAS are SUN lovers so don’t try growing them in shade. Like the Hemero- 
callis they will thrive in any soil and are quite drouth resistant. In mild climates they are ever- 
green which makes them ornamental the year around. For the colder sections of the country 
spring planting is recommended. 
SHIPMENT: Spring or Fall.

COLCHICUMS 
Commonly called autumn Crocus. However, the colchicums are much larger in leaf and flower. 
They are lovely planted among shrubs or in the large rockery and if left alone increase into 
large colonies in a few years. If you like fall color in your garden try some this year. The bulbs 
are shipped during the late summer months only and will bloom shortly after you receive them 
whether planted OR NOT! 
CULTURE: COLCHICUMS like other bulbs 
become dormant during summer months and 
are extraordinary in that the foliage is pro- 
duced in spring but the flowers do not appear 
until fall. Plant the bulbs about 4 inches 
deep in any good garden soil where they may 
be left alone for years if desired. Heaviest 
bloom is produced in full sun, though we do 
get fair results here in one-half to fu!l shade. 
If wanted in the rock garden do not plant 
them too near their neighbors as the leaves 
take up considerable space in spring. 
SHIPMENT: Late Summer and Early Fall.

duced from each bulb.
