C. Kennedyl. This "is the most brilliant and 
striking of all the Calochorti known to us.'" says a 
writer in the I_^ondon Garden, who adds— ''thedazzling 
scarlet of the flowers suggests the iodide of mercury, 
and as the plant proves to be what is called a good 
doer, it is certain to become popular. It has proved 
perfectly hardy in England, the bulbs having been in 
the open border drring the last three winters, and 
flowers have been produced in abundance during the 
summer. It grows about 18 inches high. The flowers 
are produced in umbels of 4 or 5, the outer segments 
being pale green on the outside, with white scai'ious 
margins. The inside is brilliant scarlet-i-ed. the inner 
segments also bi-illiant scarlet except for a purple 
' si)ot just above the base, bearded with a few tufted 
hairs: the anthers are dark purple.'' 2 00
