PERENNIALS AND CALIFORNIA BULBS 
33 
Calochortus amabilis is much like it, with a globe of clear yellow. Cult, as Brodi- 
asas, but better in shade. 3 cts. each, 25 cts. per doz., $2 per 100. 
CALOCHORTUS. Star Tulips, or Cat's Ears. In habit like the Globe Tulips but 
more slender with most dainty open cups filled with silky hairs. 
C. Benthamii, bright yellow. C. Maweanus major, white. C. lilacinus, lilac. Cult. 
as former group. 3 cts. each, 25 cts. per doz., $2 per 100. 
CALOCHORTUS. Mariposa Tulips. 
C. elegans. Mottled in green and white. C. recurva is similar with brilliant orange- 
scarlet flowers, like small lilies. 5 cts. each. 50 cts. per doz., .$3.50 per 100. 
DOG'S-TOOTH VIOLETS, or Erythroniums are most lovely woodland lilies, often 
locally known as Easter Lilies or Adam and Eve. The leaves are usually prettily mottled 
and the flowers in pure colors. Sit., shade, even to rather heavy. Soil, a good loam and 
if mixed with leaf-mold all the better. PL, October to December, and be careful not to 
expose the bulbs to drying at all. I ship in moist material, and they either should be 
planted at once in moist soil or kept in a cool, moist place. Prop., seedlings only and it 
takes years to flower them. Dry off after planting and do not meddle with them. 
Plant 3 inches apart and 2 inches deep, and a mulch of leaf-mold is an advantage in 
the West and a frost protection in the East. 
Erythronium californicum. Cream-colored with four or five on a stem. Easy to 
grow. A colony is a fine sight. Flowers March. 3 cts. each, 25 cts. per doz., $2 per 100.

early and stands a drier spot. 3 cts. each, 25 cts. per doz., $2 per 100.

almost black center. 4 cts. each, 
40 cts. per doz., $3 per 100.

cup-yellow flowers of great beauty.
