MONTBRETIAS 
Delivery—March to A pril 
Attractive Summer and Autumn blooming 
bulbous plants which resemble miniature Gla- 
diolus. They may be planted in the open garden 
as soon as the ground is workable in early Spring, 
in the same manner as Gladiolus. 
If planted in a well drained location, these 
bulbs often prove hardy in Massachusetts, but 
it is unwise to risk wintering them in the open 
unless protected by a mulch of some such mate- 
rial as salt marsh hay. If they are grown where 
water or ice is likely to lodge during the Winter, 
it is best to lift the bulbs and after drying and 
cleaning them, to store them away in a cool 
place, packed in dry sand. 
To advance the blooming season, the bulbs 
may be potted and started indoors during Feb- 
ruary or March. Transfer to the garden in May. 
Water plentifully during growing season.
