Mariposa or Butterfly Tulip. 



(Calochortns.) 

 Beautiful California bulbs with brilliant Tulip- 

 shaped flowers. The name signifies beautiful grass, 

 being derived from Kalos, beautiful, and Chortos, 

 grass. They are not hardy enough to withstand the 

 severe frosts of eur northern winters outside, but if 

 treated as half hardy bulbs, by being taken up in fall 

 and planted again early in spring, or grown as pot 

 plants in the conservatory or parlor, they will prove 

 a valuable addition to any collection. Few bulbous 

 plants have a more bright and cheerful appearance 

 when in bloom, and the flowers remain' a long time 

 in perfect condition.

CROCUSES. 



For massing in beds by themselves, for edging beds 

 of other bulbs, or for planting in clumps in the grass 

 on the lawn, these beautiful and earliest of all spring 

 flowering bulbs are unexcelled. We need not describe 

 them, as everybody— even from childhood— is famil- 

 iar with them; and all having any love for plants 

 appreciate them. They are always gladly welcomed 

 after the long and dreary winter months. 



Plant in October or November— before hard frost 

 sets in; set about three inches apart and two inches 

 deep ; protect with a light covering of straw or ma- 

 nure, removing the same as soon as winter is over. 

 They may remain in the beds year after year, but if 

 necessary may be removed and kept dry, as soon as 

 the foliage is matured, to be again planted the fol- 

 lowing fall. 

 If by mail add 15 cts. per 100.
