Gloriosa superba Rothschildiana 
This handsome African tuberous-rooted plant, known as the 
“Climbing Speciosa Lily,’’ has been used mostly as a greenhouse 
climber, but can be grown very successfully as an outside climber if 
given a warm, sunny location. It reaches a height of 6 to 8 feet and 
produces large, gorgeous, lily-Iike flowers which open bright yellow, 
but change to a deep scarlet.

Montbretias, Giant-flowering Varieties 
Montbretias resemble miniature gladiolus, are fine for cutting, and 
excellent for border planting. They prefer a light, loamy soil, well en- 
riched 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.
