J. M. THORBURN & CO.- CATALOGUE OF BULBS 



CALOCHORTUS 



(Mariposa Lily, or Butterfly Tulip) 

 Ready in September 



Very handsome bulbous plants from California. They 

 are remarkable for the brilliancy and variety of their color- 

 ing, and their gracefulness of habit. They grow freely in 

 light, sandy loam; though hardy, they should be protected 

 during winter with litter. They may also be successfully 

 grown in frames and in pots. 



If ordered by mail, add 5 cents per dozen for postage

Nost of them ready in November 



When well grown, it is difficult to find a more useful 

 plant than this for greenhouse, room and window decora- 

 tions. The various species produce flowers varying from 

 deep red to pure white, and of much elegance of form in 

 flower and plant. The C. giganleiim is an improved 

 strain of the old C. Persicuni, having much larger 

 and more brilliantly colored flowers, and producing 

 them more abundantly. We offer seed of our superb 

 strain of these at the end of this Catalogue.
