CALOCHORTUS, popularly known as the Butterfly or Mariposa Tulips, Globe Tulips 
and Star Tulips. These lovely Californian bulbs, although belonging to the same Natural Order 
as the Tulips of our gardens, bear little resemblance to them ; they flower through June and July, 
and for delicacy of texture and brilliancy of colour are unsurpassed ; they deserve a place in every 
hardy flower border and rock garden. The Mariposa or Butterfy Tulips are especially valuable for 
cutting, having long stems and being profuse continuous bloomers. 
Culture Outdoors. — The Calochorti are 
all quite hardy. 1 he “ Mariposa ” and “ Star 
Tulips ” require a sunny position and light gritty 
or sandy soil on slightly raised beds to ensure 
perfect drainage; plant from October 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 
soakii'gs of water, but not too frequently. After 
floweiing, ripen off by placing glass over them, 
and lake up when foliage dies down. The “Globe 
Tulips,” being woodland plants, like partial shade 
and a porous .soil composed principally of leaf 
rrrould. 
Cui.lURK IN Pors — The Calochorti all 
make charming pot plants (ihree or four bulbs in 
a pot), and are easily grown in a cold greenhouse 
BUTTERFLY TULtPS (cAi-octioRTUs VENusTus VAR.) or Cold fiarrrc with south aspect.
