ITlontbretias 
The brilliant spikes of montbretias resemble glad- 
ioli in form and habit, but the montbretia spears are 
shorter and narrower and arch more gracefully. Un- 
like 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.

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 ac- 
cept your orders.

banded Lily of Japan have recently arrived. Also for 
those who did not plant them last fall we have lim- 
ited quantities of a few other fine lilies. Plant them 
in late 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 indicated.
