NEW GIANT MONTBRBTIA 



CROCOSMI^FBORA GBRMANIA. 



This new Montbretia has been under our observation for the past four years, 

 when it first originated, and we can fully endorse the originator's description, 

 which follows: " This splendid acquisition is the result of a cross between Cro- 

 cosmia aurea imperial is and various Montbretias. It has inherited the vigorous 

 growth of the Crocosmia, hut, unlike it, it produces no offsets, but possesses the 

 dwarf, bushy growth of Montbretia Etoile de Feu ; it grows about 3J feet high, 

 is of sturdy habit, much branched, and produces most graceful spikes in the 

 greatest profusion, which are furnished with six-petalled, widely-expanded flowers, 

 measuring over 3 inches across — probably the largest of the genus; the color is a 

 rich, glowing scarlet, shading to l^rilliant orange, with a blood-red throat ; the 

 buds and also the reverse of the petals are blood-red, a most striking combination 

 of color, making a grand effect." Nothing can excel the great display this nov- 

 elty produces when planted in masses, while, as a late summer cut flower, it is 

 invaluable. (See cut.) 25 cts. each ; S2 50 per doz.; $20.00 per 100.
