' Montbretias 
MONTBRETIAS 
Montbretias resemble miniature gladiolus, are fine for cutting 
and excellent for border planting. They prefer a light, loamy soil, 
well enriched with leaf mould, but no manure or chemical fertilizer 
should touch the roots; a little bone meal and a light top dressing 
of lime should prove beneficial. They will thrive either in partial 
shade or full sunlight, but see that the moisture supply is good at 
all times. 
If wanted by Parcel Post, add 15c. per 100 for postage.
