MONTBRETI AS • 
The new hybrid Montbretias are one 
of our specialties. They are a glorious 
race of flowering plants which produce 
a wealth of bloom excellent for cutting 
and a riot of color in the garden from 
late July until frost. They are so much 
larger and finer than the old fashioned 
sorts as to be scarcely recognizable as 
of the same family and we are not exag- 
gerating a bit. 
The usual planting time in the nor¬ 
thern states is spring but many of our 
customers in the southern states prefer 
to plant in the fall as they make consid¬ 
erable growth during the cool months 
and consequently produce more flowers 
the following summer. The bulbs must 
not be allowed to freeze. A little mulch 
of leaves or straw will be sufficient pro¬ 
tection in the milder districts.

TIME OF SHIPMENT. Unless you instruct us otherwise, shipments will be made at 
digging time in the fall. Early shipments allow bulbs and plants to become estab¬ 
lished before winter sets in. Where winters are severe, plantings of Lilium sul- 
phureum, Montbretias and Tigridias are safer made in the spring. Send us your 
order and we shall hold it for you if you wish. 25% payment will hold until ship¬ 
ping time. 
TRANSPORTATION. Prices in this catalog cover prepaid postage or express. Be 
sure to state express office if different from postal address.

and healthy condition. We cannot guarantee them to grow in your garden under 
conditions beyond our control. Complaints must be made immediately upon 
receipt of shipment.
