MONTBRETIAS. 



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 more generally used. 

 We feel sure that if once tried they would oecome firm favorites. The bulbs 

 should be planted from April to June in clumps or groujis of three to a dozen or 

 more. They are perfectly hardy, and once planted can be left to c.Tie for them- 

 selves. In growth they resemble the Gladioli, and produce spikes of the most 

 brilliant flowers in the various shades of orange, yellow, red, etc. The varieties 

 offered below are the "cream" of the largest collection in Europe, and are 

 offered at a price which should warrant extensive plantings. (See cut.)
