MONTBRETIAS 
Montbretia "Nimbus" 
Montbretia "His Majesty" 
ThESE are the magnificent Montbretias, which 
have attracted so much attention the past few years. 
Originally natives of South Africa, the Montbretias 
have been hybridized most successfully by Mr. 
Sidney Morris of Earlham Hall, Norwich, England. 
They represent a completely new race of flowers, 
being generally much taller and more robust in 
growth. They blossom for many weeks during mid¬ 
summer and autumn, producing a myriad of fall 
colors, suffusing the bright crimson values with the 
softer tones of orange and yellow. They make first 
class border plants and are of great value for cutting, 
being very gracious in their association with other 
flowers and having long lasting qualities.
