Won thretias 
The brilliant spikes of montbretias resemble gladioli 
in form and habit, but the montbretia spears are shorter 
and narrower and arch more gracefully. Unlike most 
spring-planting bulbs, montbretias need not be lifted 
each fall. They will winter over with a light mulch and 
will readily naturalize with a little protection. 
Following is a selection of wonderful hybrids from 
Holland in shades of pale lemon through apricot to 
warm carmine.

Our Book on Bulbs 
“Bulbs For Beauty” 
More and more gardeners are discovering that our 
general book on bulbs, Bulbs For Beauty, is worth 
many times its cost to anyone who grows or plans to 
grow bulbs. It was written expressly for the amateur 
gardener and answers such questions as how to grow 
bulbs, where to plant them, how to care for them 
through the years, what kinds and varieties are best. 
It deals with bulbs that flower in the spring, summer 
and autumn, and also contains a chapter on indoor 
growing bulbs. Besides 277 pages of text it contains 
copious illustrations. It sells for $3.50 per copy and 
we shall be pleased to accept your orders.

March or early April for spectacular blooms in your 
garden not only for the coming summer, but other 
summers to follow. Approximate flowering times are
