CALOCHORTUS — continued. 
Culture Outdoors. — The Calochorti are all quite hardy. The ‘ Mariposa ’ and ‘ Star 
Tulips ’ require a sunny position and light gritty or sandy soil on slightly raised beds to insure 
perfect drainage ; plant from September to end of November, 2 to 3 inches deep, and 3 inches 
apart. Cover the beds after planting with straw or cut heather, to keep surface sweet and as a 
protection in case of early growth ; remove the covering in March. A position facing south and 
sunny spots on the rockery are specially suitable. 
When in full growth give occasional soakings of water, but not too frequently. After flowering, 
ripen off by placing glass over them, or take up when foliage dies down. 
The ‘ Globe Tulips,’ being woodland plants, like partial shade and a porous soil composed 
principally of leaf mould.
