Graceful, sparkling flowers of the midsummer and 
autumn, reflecting the colors of the advancing sea- 
son and lending a charming gaiety and lightness to 
the borders. For the best effect the bulbs should be 
set only a few inches apart, and in groups of not 
less than ten, toward the front of herbaceous bor- 
ders or shrubbery. Thus planted, the sheaves of nar- 
row leaves and slender, wiry arching stems strung 
with brilliant flowers, like miniature Gladioli, 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 Mont- 
bretias most desirable for cutting, so that it is well 
to have a few hundred bulbs set out in some by- 
place where the graceful stems may be copiously 
cut for house and piazza decoration. See catalog, 
page 29.
