Montbretias 
(Large flowering varieties only) 
These magnificent New Montbretias are a great improvement on the older varieties, 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 position in a well drained soil. 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.

extreme usefulness for cutting and table decoration. 60 cts. per doz.; $ 4.00 per 100
