MONTBRETIAS 
Large Flowered Hybrids 
Montbretia His Majesty 
The new hybrid Montbretias are be¬ 
coming more popular yearly. They are 
so superior to the old common sorts that 
one has to see them to appreciate them. 
The richly colored and beautiful flow¬ 
ers, often 3 to 4 inches in diameter, are 
borne on graceful stems and continue to 
bloom over a long period from mid-sum¬ 
mer till frost. They make excellent bor¬ 
der plants and are of great value for 
cutting. 
Montbretias are of easy culture, pre¬ 
ferring a light loamy soil well enriched 
with leaf mold. The moisture supply 
should be good. They thrive in the par¬ 
tial 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.
