Earlham Large-Flowered Hybrid Montbretias. 
These are the magnificent new montbretias which have attracted so much atten¬ 
tion the last year or two at the Royal Horticultural Society’s shows in late summer 
and during autumn and gained the Gold Medal. They are a completely new race of 
flowers, the result of hybridization successfully carried out by the late Mr. Sydney 
Morris of Earlham Hall, Norwich. They represent an enormous advance over the 
ordinary montbretias in commerce, being generally much taller and more robust in 
growth, and having flowers of great size and beauty, some measuring 3 to 4 or more 
inches in diameter. These montbretias make first-class border plants and are of great 
decorative value for cutting. 
Montbretias are of easy culture, preferring a light loamy soil well-enriched with 
leaf mould, but no manure or chemical fertilizer should touch the roots. A little 
bone meal can be used and a light dressing of lime may prove beneficial. The moisture 
supply should be good. They thrive in the partial shade of borders or shrubbery as 
well as in full sunlight. If planted in the fall, mulch lightly with peat or litter but 
not manure. 
In severe climates spring planting is best and they can be given the same treat¬ 
ment as gladioli.
