Pal Monthretias 
Montbretias are graceful, sparkling flowers of the mid- 
summer and autumn, reflecting the colors of the ad- 
vancine season and lending a charming gaiety and light- 
ness to the borders. For the best effect the bulbs, more 
correctly called “‘corms,” should be set only a few inches 
apart, and in groups of not less than ten, toward the 
front of herbaceous borders or shrubbery. Thus planted, 
the sheaves of narrow leaves and slender, wiry arching 
stems strung with brilliant flowers, like miniature Gladi- 
oli, have the appearance of little fountains of bright color 
rose, scarlet, yellow, orange, red, often marked with 
brown. They will flower for many weeks (from August 
into late October) and set at intervals in a border, where 
blue and white flowers predominate, are delightful indeed 
with such gay patches of color. They may be planted 
from the earliest spring days until late June, according 
to the flowering dates you prefer. Their long lasting 
qualities make the Montbretias most desirable for cut- 
ling, so that it is well to have a few hundred bulbs set 
out in some byplace where the graceful stems may be 
copiously cut for house and piazza decoration. 

QUEEN OF SPAIN. Flowers of large size, deep golden 
orange, reverse of petals golden apricot with small crim- 
son and purple calyx. Very brilliant and effective. $2.25

RED KNIGHT. Large star shaped flowers of rich ver- 
milion shadings of gold at the center, which is heavily 
overlapped with maroon. Reverse of the petals crimson 
and orange for a most beautiful effect. $2.25 for 10; 
$20.00 per 100. 
STAR OF THE EAST. One or the finest Montbretias 
ever raised; flowers pale orange-yellow, with lemon-yel- 
low eye, expanding quite flat and held erect. The flowers 
are much larger than any other variety in this class, best 
blooms often measure 5 inches in diameter. The size, 
vigor, color and habit are magnificent and unequaled. 
$2.25 for 10; $20.00 per 100.
