—Monthrstias 
Graceful, Sparkling Flowers of Midsummer. 
(See illustrations on pages 30 and 35) 
They reflect the colors of the advancing season and lend 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 borders or shrubbery. Thus planted, the sheaves of narrow 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. Long lasting 
qualities make Montbretias most desirable for cutting.
