New Giant Montbretias 



See Colored Illustration on Opposite Page 



These magnificent new hybrid Montbretias are remarkable for their giant size and beautiful rich colors. The flowers are nearly 

 three inches in diameter and are borne on slender branching stems frequently over three feet high and are gay and attractive in the garden 

 in late summer and fall and invaluable for cutting. The bulbs or started plants should be set out during April or May and may be 

 wintered out of doors with careful protection but it is better to lift the bulbs in the fall, pack them away in dry sand and store in alow 

 temperature just above freezing.

scarlet, with the segments heavily covered towards their tips with a good rich crimson.
