MONTBRETIAS 
Earlham Large Flowered Hybrids

hardy bulbs. North of Philadelphia they should 
be dug and treated much in the same manner as 
Gladioli. Exquisitely formed flowers in unusual 
bronzy colorings class Montbretias as one of the 
most satisfactory of all cut flowers.

the crown of the plant, then cover with an inch of sand or gravel, to prevent discoloration of the water, 
and sink the boxes in the pond. 


ISMENE CALATHINA

bulbous plant that we have to offer. Large, 
chaste white blossoms of exquisite fra- 
grance. Blooms 6 weeks after ‘planting. 
The flowers resemble clusters of: pure white 
Amaryllis. Large jumbo bulbs of unequalled
