MIXED CALOCHORTI. 
MIXED . CALOCHORTI. I have a large demand for mixtures of Cal- 
ochortus, and I aim to give an excellent article. The mixture that I send 
out is not OF ALL SORTS mixed. Any dealer must know that- one does not 
put bulbs at $10.00 per hundred or even at $3.00 per 100 in mixtures which 
he sells at $8.00 per 1000. If he did they would be of inferior size or 
quality. I try to make my mixtures .of sterling varieties and of flowering 
bulbs which will give satisfaction. My mixtures are made up of such ex- 
cellent sorts as AMABILIS, ALEUS, EENTHAMil , MA WE ANNUS MAJOR, 
VENUSTUS OCULATUS, VENUSTUS CITRINUS, LILACINUS, NITIDUS, 
and some El Dorados and Vestas. I do not know of varieties which will 
give better satisfaction. I have all of these collected in large quantities. I 
use onl3*, the very largest to name ,ancl put the next si;:e in mixtures. The 
bulbs which go into mixures are really as good as any one could reasonably 
expect to get to name. It will be noted that well grown bulbs of the sorts 
that I use vary considerably in size, and the mixtures cannot well appear 
uniform. The main point is that each variety shall be in good flowering 
size, and of that I can assure my customers. $1.20 . $ 8.00

CAMASSiAS. 
A class of hardy bulbous plants, well adapted to all temperate cli- 
mates and soils. Especially good for naturalization in damp meadows or 
on the margins of streams and lakes. They are quite able to maintain 
themselves in those, their natural surroundings, and at flowering time give 
a wavy mass of blue, white or purple flowers. They have many glossy 
leaves and tall, many flowered stems, bearing star shaped flowers of fine 
texture and good size.

DOG TOOTH V!0LETS. 
ERYTHRONIUMS, OR DOG TOOTH VIOLETS. If these most beau- 
tiful of Woodland lilies had no other charm than their two large and glossy 
leaves, they would be prime favorites for woodlands, rockwork and shady 
corners. The slender stems bear nodding flowers, shaped like the Turk's 
Cap Lilies and in fine shades of white, pink, cream, purple and bright yel- 
low. When given a protection of leaves they are perfectly hardy in even 
the coldest climates.
