x MONTBRETIAS, 
New Earlham Lange-flowered 
Hybrids. 
Awarded the Royal Horticultural 
Society’s Gold Medal. 
These are the magnificent New Montbretias 
which have attracted so much attention during the 
last few years at the Royal Horticultural Society’s 
Shows in late summer and during autumn. They 
are a great advance on the older varieties, being 
generally taller and more robust in growth, while 
the flowers are of greater size and beauty, some of 
them measuring 3 to 4 inches in diameter. They 
make first-class border plants and are of great 
decorative value for cutting. 
Culture.— These Montbretias like a deep well-drained loamy soil, with the addition of leaf soil. 
Although hardy (when established) in most parts of England they appreciate a light covering of straw 
litter, heather or leaf soil during winter or they may be given a covering of peat fibre which can be 
left on as a summer mulch. Fresh plantings are best made in February or March and alight covering 
given as advised above hs a protection from frost until they have started well into growth. Plant the 
corms 2 to 3 inches deep and 4 to 6 inches apart.
