Seed sown in January or February will produce fine specimen plants full of fruit for the holidays. Pkt. 25 cts., 5 pkts. for $1. Tritoma hybrida mirabilis. ^ "^^ strain of dwarf- growmg Tntomas, or Kniphofias, obtained by artificial hybridizing. Its great merit as a novelty consists in producing flowers in abundance the first year from being sown, so that this new class may justly be called "an- nual" Tritomas. If sown in temperate heat from January to Febru- ary, pricked off and treated like half-hardy annuals or like Pentste- mon Hartwegii, the seedlings may be planted in the open ground from the end of April to May, and they will bloom freely and con- stantly from July until late in the autumn. The flower-stems, 2 to 3 feet high, rising above the graceful, grass-like foliage, produce rtat, slender spikes 45^ to 6 inches in length, thickly set with tubular flowers, which range in color from light citron^ellow to golden yellow and from light red to orange-scarlet, including remarkably pretty tints. The long-stemmed flower-spikes, of which two and more are developed on the same shoot, may be used for any decorative pur- pose. A group of this new strain of Torch Lilies or Redhot Poker Plants in full bloom presents a beautiful aspect. To be recom- mended as quite new and a real acquisition. Pkt. 35c., 3 pkts. for
