CaN>lochortus or Std>>r Tulips 



Better known as Butterfly Tulips, Star Tulips, California or Mariposa Lily. No illustration can 

 do them justice. The Calochortus are not suitable for outdoor culture, except in the extreme 

 South or along the Pacific coast, but as house plants, given the same treatment as Hyacinths, 

 they succeed admirably. Their novel grace, varied forms and tints of exquisite colors are a source 

 of never-ending pleasure to all. The foliage is extremely graceful; the many stems terminating 

 in clusters of bell-shaped, drooping flowers which are surpassingly gay and beautiful. The best 

 effects may be secured by planting 5 or 6 bulbs in a six-inch pot; boxes may also be used for the 

 purpose. The soil should consist of an equal proportion of natural loam and sand. The following 

 varieties produce erect, cup-like flowers of large size borne on sriff, slender stalks, 10 to 20 inches 

 high, and produce 15 to 20 flowers on a stalk.
