Var. citrinus, a very superior strain in deep 
lemon yellow with black eye. <^5c. 
C. Vesta. Thiti very clearly marked strain is 
not related to any of the others. T consider it 
the finest of all Calochorti. The habit is tall, 
strong- and very vigorous. The immense flowers three 
to five inches across, are borne on long- stalks 
and are numerous. Petals broad fan shaped with 
hairy g-land across base, and a broad eye and band 
across middle. Color white, suffused with lilac to 
rose purple. Center red. Back of petal purple. It 
grows in any soil, from heavy wet clay to light loam, 
and is not subject to disease. It propagates rapidly, 
having- several strong offsets each year, which in two 
years make lai-ge bulbs. Reports from Europe are 
that it succeeds where all others fail. This splendid 
si^ecies is what has been long desired ; a hardy, vigor- 
ous Mariposa tulip, which everyone (;an easily grow.
