Type of CaJochortus Flower 



CMao-iposoL ®r Butterfly Tulips) 



A remarkably brilliant class of California bulbs with flowers in 

 the richest combinations ; for winter blooming in the house they 

 give great pleasure. Four or six bulbs are recommended for use 

 in a five-inch pot or box. They are very easily grown, cared for 

 in the same manner as Hyacinths in pots. When in bloom they 

 are very showy and last a long time. 



The exquisitely moulded flowers resemble in form the Tulip, 

 while the colors are vivid and intense, blotched and marked 

 like the butterfly's wing in crimson, cream, white, yellow, buff, 

 violet, rose, lemon, brown, salmon and pink. They can also be 



planted outside in the fall. 

 Cover slightly with litter, 

 and they bloom beautifully 

 in early spring.

 and forms, 3 for 5 cents, 7 for 

 10 cents, 12 for 15 cents.
