MONTBRETIAS 
Montbretias are of easy culture. They flower freely and require perhaps 
less care than most bulbs. They do particularly well in the border in 
light shade or full sun. A clump of a half dozen or more bulbs will 
continue flowering throughout the late summer and autumn. Rich soil 
helps to grow tall spikes. A liberal amount of well-rotted manure or 
bone meal applied at planting time is very beneficial. Water freely in 
dry weather. Bulbs may be left in the ground over winter with reason- 
able protection of strawy manure or garden litter. South of Philadelphia 
no protection is required.
