Section I.— MARIPOSA TULTPS. 
This is a group whose elegance of form and fine coloring give them a 
high rank in the garden. Much attention is being given them in Europe 
and the leading floral papers speak of them in the highest terms. The 
bulb is small, the leaves grassy, the stem stiff and erect but slender. The 
exquisitely molded flowers resemble in form the tulip, while the colorings 
are most beautiful and varied. Bulbs easily handled and light. I have the 
1 finest collection in the world, and spare no pains to secure new and rare 
forms.
