Montbretia - Tritonia 
EAKLHAM LARGE-FLOWERED HYBRIDS 
These are the magnificent new Montbretias which have attracted 
so much attention at the Royal Horticultural Society's shows in 
England. They are a completely new race of flowers, the result of 
hybridization successfully carried out by the late Mr. Sydney Morris 
of Earlham Hall, Norwich. They represent an enormous advance 
over the ordinary Montbretias, being generally much taller and 
more robust in growth, and having flowers of great size and beauty. 
They make first-class border plants and are of great decorative 
value for cutting. 
Culture. Montbretias are of easy culture, preferring a light loamy 
soil well enriched with leaf mold, but no manure or chemical fer¬ 
tilizer should ever be used. A little Wayside Gardens Plant Food 
can be used and a light dressing of lime may prove beneficial. The 
moisture supply should be good. They thrive in the partial shade 
of borders or shrubbery as well as in full sunlight. Mulch lightly 
with peat or litter but not manure for winter protection.

Waterlilies - Nymphaea 
The culture of of Waterlilies is so simple that it might almost be 
said that “they just grow themselves.’’ Their modest requirements 
are sun, water, and rich soil. In deciding on a place for a natural 
water garden, one is naturally led to select a low spot. A stream of 
water running through this or near it can easily be dammed or 
diverted so as to form a pond. The digging up and grading of the 
ground to be flooded is the first consideration. Of course, it is not 
possible for everyone to have such a location, but almost everybody 
can have built or can themselves construct an artificial pool. In this 
event, any location that is availalbe would be satisfactory, provided 
it is exposed to the full sun. Rather than have no waten garden at 
all. the interested party can grow many of the varieties in tubs or 
half-barrels sunk in the ground. 
Soil. In preparing a piece of ground about to be flooded, it is well 
to dig into the soil a generous amount of thoroughly rotted manure, 
with the addition of a small amount of bone meal. An excellent soil 
for use in tubs or artificial pools is made by mixing three parts of 
rotted sod, compost, or good top soil with one part of cow manure 
or good barnyard manure. All manure used must be thoroughly 
decomposed, to prevent fermentation when covered with water. 
Ground bone or bone meal may be used if necessary, at the rate of 
one quart to one bushel of soil. 
Size of Pool. The larger the water surface the better the results. 
A tub or half-barrel 2 feet in diameter will furnish a miniature 
pool. An artificial pool should be made as large as possible, and 2 
feet deep. Where clay is very abundant, it is quite possible to line 
an excavation with this in such a manner as to have it water-tight. 
Make an artificial pool as natural as possible and avoid stern lines 
and too apparent masonry. A generous planting of moisture-loving 
plants around the edge of the pool or pond will furnish an added 
charm to the plants in the pool itself. 
Water. One foot of water over the soil is the most desirable depth 
in artificial pools. Some will thrive in shallower water, but few 
will stand a depth exceeding two feet. A continuous flow of water 
tends to keep the temperature in the pool low and must be avoided. 
After the pool is once filled it is only necessary to replenish that 
which evaporates. 
Hardy Varieties 
Each 
Gloriosa. This can well be called the most satisfactory Water- 
lily. It is the earliest to bloom and continues to flower until 
late summer, producing more blossoms than any other sort. 
In the spring the flower is a bright carmine which becomes 
darker as the season lengthens. The blooms are perfect in 
form and 4 to 6 inches across. This variety is one of the finest 
for cutting and has so much to recommend it that we do 
not hesitate to say that it should be the first Nymphaea for 
any pool .$1.85

Marliacea alba. A vigorous variety, flowers large, of sparkling 
whiteness; stamens light yellow, sepals flushed pink; fra¬
