Montbretias (Large flowering varieties only) 
These magnificent New Montbretias are a great improvement on the older varie- 
ties, being taller and more robust, while the flowers are of much greater size and beauty, 
some of them measuring 3 inch. across. These lovely flowers with their elegant and 
branched spikes are not only sweet cutflowers, but their charming habit as garden 
varieties, their vivid, warm orange colorings will give the most effective satisfaction 
when planted in groups from 6 to 12 in the border. 
Culture: It is absolutely necessary to give them a sunny place and a well drained 
position. The best time for planting is during March and April to a depth of at least 3 
inches and 2 inches apart. They like a deep well-drained loamy soil enriched with 
leaf-mould. 
Choice Mixture of Large Flowering Montbretias, this beautiful mixture is excep- 
tionally attractive and it should appeal to all flower lovers on account of their 
value for garden and extreme usefulness for cutting and table decoration.
