Wonthretias 
The charming spikes of montbretias resemble gladioli in 
form and habit, but the montbretia spears are shorter and 
narrower and arch more gracefully. Unlike most spring-plant- 
ing bulbs, montbretias need not be lifted each fall. They 
will winter over with a light mulch and will readily naturalize 
with a little protection. 
Following is a selection of wonderful hybrids from Holland 
in shades of pale lemon through apricot to warm carmine.

Onur Wook on WBulls ” “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 an- 
swers such questions as how to grow bulbs, where to plant 
them, how to care for them through the year, 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. Beside 277 pages of text it contains 
copious illustrations. It sells for $3.50 per copy and we shall 
be pleased to fill your orders.
