Montbretia His Majesty 
<JMontbretias 
EARLHAM LARGE FLOWERED HYBRID MONT- 
BRETIAS. These are the magnificent New Montbretias 
which have won the gold medal at the Royal Horticultural 
Society’s shows and have attracted such great attention 
wherever shown. They constitute an enormous advance 
over the ordinary Montbretias in commerce, being gener¬ 
ally much taller and more robust in growth and having 
flowers of great size and beauty, some measuring 3 to 4 
inches in diameter. They make first-class border plants and 
are of great decorative value for cutting. 
Montbretias are of easy culture, preferring a light loamy 
soil well enriched with leaf mold. The moisture supply 
should be good. They thrive in the partial shade of borders 
or shrubbery as well as in full sunlight. 
Montbretia bulbs may be left in the ground over winter 
if mulched so as to prevent freezing. Otherwise they 
should be lifted and stored in moist soil or peat away from 
frost.
