Brodiaea — A native of our Far West 



Brodiaea ^ 



40-040 Mixed. These are lovely little 

 bulbs native to our western states. 

 They bloom in the spring and do 

 well in shaded positions as under 

 trees or in the gritty crevices of a 

 deep rock garden pocket. Plant them 

 as early in the fall as available and 

 cover 2 inches deep with fine soil. 

 They bear their showy little star- 

 shaped blooms during May and 

 June. Others blooming somewhat 

 earlier have lovely trumpet-shaped 

 flowers. 3 for 2Sc; 12 for 8Sc; 25 

 for S1.4S; 100 for $5.75. 



This section includes many charming treasures needed as finishing touches in 

 the spring and early summer garden. Most of them are easy to grow and, 

 though small, they are beautiful and impressive if planted in groups. In addition 

 to the spring bloomers there are Colchicum and Fall-Flowering Crocus for an 

 autumn display.

Calochortus o 



Mariposa or Butterfly Tulip

 hardy bulbs native to the western 

 section of our country. They produce 

 showy and colorful blooms of artis- 

 tic appeal and our mixture includes 

 a particularly wide range of rich 

 colors. They are quite unlike any 

 other plant in our garden which ac- 

 counts for the special interest they 

 invariably receive wherever seen. 

 Space 2 inches apart and cover with 

 2 inches of fine sandy soil. Place in 

 a sheltered semi-shaded spot. 3 for 

 25c; 12 for 90c; 25 for $1.60; 100
