Liythrum 
All the Lythrum we list thrive from coast to 
coast and Canada to the Gulf. Grow in full 
sun or part shade, without special care. Not 
bothered by insects or diseases. Grow in ordi- 
nary soil, sandy soil, clay soil; even in wet 
damp places. Without doubt, one of the eas- 
iest to grow of all perennials. They make 
bushy, specimen plants 2 to 3 feet across, 
blooming right through summer’s heat. The 
foliage colors purple-red in the fall. Every 
plant we send out bloomed in our fields last 
summer and will bloom for you this summer 
and years to come.

RED HOT 
POKER 
M 256 Tritoma, Pfitzer’s— This is the genu- 
ine Red Hot Poker. Brilliant flame-scarlet 
flowers on stems nearly 3 feet tall, in August 
and September. This strain is grown from 
root divisions and is far superior to those 
grown from seed. Hardy to southern lowa 
but a winter-mulch of 4 inches of sand is bene- 
ficial. In real cold states, it is best to dig 
them up in the fall and bury in sand in a cool 
cellar over winter.
