GIGANTEUM TRUE. Long known as E. Revolutum Var. Watsonii, 
but first described as E. Giganteum Var. Alibiflorum. See Revolution group. 
HARTWEGGII. Each of the light yellow flowers is borne on a slender 
separate stem from a sessile umbel. Very early and very hardy. Will 
thrive on the dryest rock faces or among grit, if only slightly shaded. In 
cultivation most satisfactory in any light soil. The short thick bulbs carry 
well without any other packing than dry sawdust or buckwheat waste, and 
can be delivered with my earliest shipments. $1.50 $10.00 
HOWELL1I. While botanically quite distinct, it varies in general ap- 
pearance from Citrinum only in being less stiff and rose tinted. 
$4.50 
HENDERSONII. With the beautifully mottled leaves of the Califor- 
nicum, it has light purple flowers with maroon, almost 1-ick centers

group' II. 
REV0LUTUMS. 
As this group have decided likings as to soils and moisture, I am treat- 
ing them by themselves. They are natives of the coastwise section of 
Northwestern California, Oregon, Washington and British Columbia. In 
this region the rainfall is excessive in winter and often almost continuous 
in summer. Fogs are heavy and frequent. The REVOLUTUMS live in the 
half shaded borders of woodlands, often in wet borders of ponds or streams. 
I have seen them where water is within six inches of the surface all winter. 
The soil is rich in humus and a heavy clay. The REVOLUTUMS seldom 
bear more than three flowers to the tall, stout stems. The flowers are large 
and of fine substance. The color forms do not grow mixed, but each grows 
in a different region. 
REVOLUTUM. White tinged purple, or light purple. $3.00 $20.00 
REVOLUTUM PINK BEAUTY. Soft pink. Supply uncertain. 
$3.00 $20.00 
REVOLUTUM JOHNSONII. Soft rose. Supply uncertain.

REVOLUTUM WATSONII, THE TRUE GIGANTEUM. Cream col- 
ored, often with a reddish band across the base. In cloudy weather the 
flowers are broadly spreading, while in sunlight they are closely revolute. 
$3.00 $20.00 
MIXED ERYTHRONIUMS. 
This mixture is especially for those who wish a cheap, fine mixture for 
naturalizing. The bulbs are good and of several of the best sorts, with 
Californicum predominating. $1.20 $ 8.00 
FRITILLAR1A. 
GROUP I. 
Low growing plants, with many leaves clustered about their base and 
several widely bell-shaped flowers. The bulbs are of thick, separable scales. 
They are hardy plants, native to heavy clay soils in the sunshine. In Cali- 
fornia they are at their very best in rich grain fields. Closely related to the 
true lilies. 
BIPLORA. Strong plants, with large, very dark brown or nearly black 
flowers. Really beautiful of the style. $4.30 $30.00
