Red Hot Poker 
Well known Torch Lilies which are becoming 
popular again because of the exquisite beauty 
and colorfulness of the newer varieties. Plant in 
open sun and water liberally. They are not par- 
ticular as to the kind of soil. Useful for plant- 
ing as specimens and among shrubbery. The 
dwarf kinds are valuable as cut flowers. In cold 
sections lift the roots and store in a cool place 
over winter. In the South and West they may 
be left undisturbed for a number of years. De- 
livery may be made anytime but we prefer fall 
and winter delivery.
