sunny location. It reaches a height of 6 to 8 feet and produces large, 
gorgeous, lily-like flowers which open bright yellow, but change to a 
deep scarlet. Strong tubers, each 85c; doz. $9.00; 100 $72.50. 
Tigridia Payonia - Mexican Shell-Flower 
An excellent flowering bulb for the garden, known as the ‘Tiger or 
Shell Flower.’’ Colors vary from pure white to gold and vivid scarlet— 
all deeply blotched and speckled with crimson-maroon. Plant in May, 
6 inches apart and 3 to 6 inches deep. They require treatment similar 
to Gladiolus.

Montbretias, Giont-Flowering Varieties 
Montbretias resemble miniature Gladiolus, are fine for cutting, and 
excellent for border planting. They prefer a light, loamy soil, well 
enriched 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.
