TRITON I A (syn. Montbretia) Earl ham 
Large-flowered Hybrids — These magnifi¬ 
cent new hybrids have attracted much 
attention during the past few years. 
They represent a notable advance on 
the ordinary Tritonia or Montbretia in 
commerce. They are much taller and 
robust in growth, and the flowers are 
much larger and of greater beauty and 
size, some measuring from 3 to 6 inches 
across. 
They are of easy culture, preferring a 
light loam, enriched with leaf-mold or a 
little bone meal, but no manure or chem¬ 
ical fertilizer should touch the roots. In 
severe climates they are best treated as 
gladioli bulbs, but wher© winters are not 
severe they maybe left in ground,mulch¬ 
ing with leaves or straw and a little soil. 
The moisture supply should be ample 
during the growing and flowering period, 
and they will do equally well in the 
light shade of the perennial border or 
full sun.
