CALOCHORTUS 
VARIOUS SPECIES OF MARIPOSA TULIPS. 
Upper flower, Mariposa Tulip, El Dorado. 
Lower flower, Lilac Mariposa (c. splendens) 
.\ll ol these are superb Mowers 
which differ from the True Butter- 
fly Tulips in being destitute of eye- 
like spots on the petals, and in 
varying much less in markings. 
Every one of these are beautiful, 
while some of them are simply ex- 
quisite in shadings. 
Splendens (The Lilac Mariposa 
Tulip). A tall, slender, many- 
flowered plant with line lilac 
flowers of a deep reddish lilac 
finely marked at base. 
4c each; 40c per dozen. 
Splendens Var Rubra. This is a 
tall species from Lake County, Cal- 
ifornia, which bears large flowers 
of an exquisitely beautiful, satiny 
pink.^ It grows in a sticky adobe 
and is more likely to prove hardy 
than the first form. 
6c each; IQc per dozen. 
Kennedyii. The dazzling ver- 
milion Mariposa of the deserts. 
15c each; $1.50 per dozen. 
Plummerae Var Rosea. Often 
three or four feet high and much 
branched, with great satiny pink 
flowers which are covered on the 
lower half of the inside with long, 
silky, yellow hairs. It must be es- 
pecially well drained and must have 
a gritty or sandj' soil. 
10c each; $1.00 per dozen. 
Of all of the Calochorti that I 
have ever seen this is the most 
beautiful. It is not easily grown, 
but worth much trouble. 
15c each; $1.50 per dozen. 
Clavatus. The largest-flowered and the stoutest-stemmed of all of the 
Mariposa Tulips. The blooms, which are shaped like a broad bowl, are 
over four inches across, of a deep yellow, and the lower half covered by 
stiff yellow hairs, each tipped with a translucent knob, which in the light 
looks like an icicle. The stem is very stout and zigzagged. 
15c each; $1.50 per dozen.
