Victor Lemoine Hybrids 1879 - 1908
Hybrids of Victor Lemoine, Nancy, France. 1879 - 1908.
Crocosmia x crocosmiiflora Syn. Montbretia Crocosmaeflora
Crocosmia x crocosmaeflora is known to us all today and its reputation no longer has to be made. It is sold in thousands more or less everywhere and it will be grown for many years because it is a plant which allies the advantage of magnificent flowering to that of being extremely easy to cultivate and of accomodating itself to the most basic care. All these qualities which have made M. Crocosmaeflora fashionable are possessed by the following new introductions, in fact they possess still more, an elegant habit, a variety of hues, the size of the flowers, characteristics which allow them to keep their place with dignity alongside the varieties from which they are descended.

Hybrids of Max Leichtlin, Baden - Baden, Germany. 1880's.
Aurea 'Imperialis'
A short time afterwards Herr Max Leichtlin of Baden - Baden, sent out a giant variety of Crocosmia Aurea, to which we Victor and Emile Lemoine) gave the name of Crocosmia Aurea 'Imerialis'. The spikes are twice as high as those of the type, and the flowers and the segments twice the size. Its colour is of a magnificent and brilliant Orange Yellow. Herr Max Leichtlin is said to of obtained it by selection from several seccessive generations of seedlings. It is certain, however, that this plant does not come true from seed.

PLATE
Goldstrum
Novelty for 1913. My novelties of Montbretia, 'Germanica', 'Croesus' and 'Rheingold' having taken well everywhere. I am now in a position to put on the market a variety worthy to be known everywhere. Of vigorous growth 'Goldstrum' branches out in such a manner that often there are about 12 flowering spikes coming out of one stalk and these stand very gracefully over sap Green foliage. The colour of the flowers is a golden gamboge Yellow of brilliant effect increased by the purity of the shade without any marking in the throat. The almost errect growth showing each flower to full advantage and the profusion of spikes give such an effect that flowering beds of this novelty are like a mass of flowers without any trace of foliage. Montbretia 'Goldstrum' may therefore be recommended as the best variety in this colour for groups and one of the finest cut flower.
