maroon. Plant in May, 6 inches apart and 3 to 6 inches deep; they

Gloxinia 
Montbretia 
Montbrctias 
Montbretias resemble miniature gladiolus, are fine for cutting, and 
excellent for border planting. They prefer a light, loamy soil well 
enriched with leaf-mold, but no manure or chemical fertilizer should 
touch the roots. A little bonemeal and a light top-dressing of lime 
is beneficial. They will thrive either in partial shade or full sunlight, 
but see that the moisture supply is good at all times. See color illus¬ 
tration on third cover page.
