MontbretiaS/ Giant-flowering Varieties 
Montbretias resemble miniature gladiolus, are fine for cutting, and 
excellent for border planting. They prefer a light loamy soil, well enriched 
with leaf-mould, but no manure or chemical fertilizer should touch the 
roots; a little bonemeal and a light top-dressing of lime should prove 
beneficial. They will thrive either in partial shade or full sunlight, but 
see that the moisture supply is good at all times. Doz. 100
