MONTBRETIAS 
The Montbretias are one of the brightest of our summer-flowering bulbs, and de¬ 
serve to be planted extensively. The bulbs should be set out during April or May, 3 
to 6 inches apart, in clumps of a dozen or more. They should be protected during the 
winter with a heavy covering of leaves or litter. 
NEW GIANT-FLOWERING VARIETIES 
The following seven varieties of new, giant-flowering Montbretias should be grown by 
everyone desiring the best. The type is so distinct from existing kinds as to justify 
recognition as an entirely new race. The flowers are held erect, sometimes as much as 
4 inches across, and are borne on stems 3 or 4 feet high. 
His Majesty. The largest and finest of all the Montbretias. Tall grower, with 
-- splendid foliage, and flowers frequently 3 inches across, an even tone 
of brilliant scarlet, with yellow center. 30 cts. each, $3 per doz., $20 per 100. 
Queen Alexandra. A choice variety of erect habit of growth, chrome-yellow, 
-- with carmine blotch at the base of petals. The flowers, like 
all the new Earlham hybrids, are large, and the plant frequently attains the height of 
4 feet. 30 cts. each, $3 per doz., $20 per 100. 
Una. Another of the new Earlham hybrids. The large, well-shaped flowers are a rich 
—■ apricot, with carmine blotch. Plants frequently attain the height of 3^ feet.

Montbretia, Germania 
OXALIS 
This excellent summer-blooming bulb is excellent for edging the borders of walks or 
flower-beds. 
Deppei. Small; white. 
Lasiandra. Rosy pink. Beautifully cut foliage. 
Shamrock. Pink flowers. Clover-like foliage.

TIGRIDIA (Tiger Flower) 
This is a very beautiful and useful bulbous plant for the border. The bulbs may be 
planted and treated similar to gladiolus. The plants attain a height of 2 feet and the very 
showy flowers are borne in succession—as each one fades another appears. 
Selected Mixed. A mixture of red and yellow, yellow and scarlet, and reddish brown. 
$2 per doz., $12 per 100. 
TUBEROSES 
One of the most delightfully fragrant and beautiful of the summer-flowering bulbs. By 
skillful management a succession of flowers may be obtained all the year round. For early 
flowers they can be started in February or March in the greenhouse or hotbed; and for a 
succession they can be planted at intervals as late as July. For flowering in the open border, 
plant about the middle of May, or as soon as the ground becomes warm. 
Excelsior Double Pearl. Pure white, double-flowering Tuberose. Jumbo Exhibition 
Bulbs, 10 cts. each, 80 cts. per doz., $6 per 100. 
Albino. A single white variety blooming in July or August. Not so well known as the 
Double Pearl, and the odor is not so pronounced. 15 cts. each, $1.50 per doz., $10 per 100. 
ZEPHYRANTHES 
These are very useful for the open border. They are easily managed, requiring the 
same treatment as the gladiolus, and can be planted at the same time, but more closely. 
Alba. Pure white. 75 cts. per doz., $5 per 100. 
Rosea. Clear rose. $1 per doz., $8 per 100.
