MILL, A (Triteleia) is a family of varied character; Uniflora, which produces masses of 
beautiful dwarf flowers in Spring, is very effective on rockwork, either alone or mingled 
with Anemone apennina, &c., also as a permanent edging, and in small beds it is very 
beautiful ; it is a first-class bulb to naturalise in grass ; M. biflora is a gem.

'MONTBRETIA, a family of most decorative hardy summer-flowering bulbous plants. They 
have an elegant growth and produce freely in early August graceful spikes of gorgeously 
coloured flowers, which are of the greatest value for cuttting, lasting long in water and 
mixing well with all kinds of foliage. They grow freely in any ordinary flower border 
enriched with manure, but a sunny situation is preferable. As pot-plants they are 
charmingly graceful.
