The book of hardy flowers; a simple and complete descriptive guide to the cultivation in gardens of the trees and shrubs, perennial and annual flowers, that are hardy, or are suitable for planting out-of-doors in summer in temperate countries. Floriculture. TRITON IA 445 Brodiaea, and botanists regard Triteleia as a synonym of the former. Those still sometimes known as Triteleia are : aurea, 4 inches, yellow, April, North America ; laxa, 12 to 15 inches, blue, July, California ; and uniflora (Spring Star Flower), 3 to 6 inches, white, spring, Buenos Ayres. They must be planted in well-drained, light loamy soil, 3 or 4 inches beneath the surface during autumn. Increase is by offsets from the bulbs. Tritoma.—{See Kniphofia.) Tritonia.—Showy bulbous plants belonging to the Iris family (Iridaceae). They are often called by the synonymous name of Montbretia, and cultural requirements and descriptions of species are given under that heading in this work. Trochodendron aralioides.—This tree belongs to the Natural Order Trochodendraceae, which includes several small but interesting groups of hardy trees and shrubs, such as Cercidiphyllum, Eucommia, and Tetracentron. Trochodendron aralioides is a native of Japan, where it forms an ornamental evergreen tree, the bark being used in the preparation of birdlime. It has been in cultivation in the British Isles for many years, but has never become common, although it is of interest by its glossy ever- green leaves and large clusters of yellowish flowers. It is better adapted for the southern than the northern parts of the country, and thrives in the open garden in warm, well- drained loamy soil into which a little peat has been dug, but it must have a position sheltered from cold north and east winds. Propagation is difficult by any other method than by seeds, which must be imported from Japan. Layers may, however, be tried. No systematic pruning is required.
