The Montbretias are one of the 

 brightest and best of Summer-flowering 

 bulbs, and it has been a matter of 

 wonder to us why they are not n I re 

 generally used. We feel sure that if 

 once tried they would become firm 

 favorites. The bulbs should be planted from April to June in clumps or 

 groupsofthreetoadozen or mure. They are perfectly hardy, and once planted 

 can be left to care for themselves. Ingrowth they resemble the Gladioli, 

 and produce spikes of the most brilliant flowers in the various shades ol 

 orange, yellow, red, etc. The varieties offered below are the "cream'' of
