(DOG’S-TOOTH VIOLETS— Continued ) 
Californicum White Beauty. By contrast it appears to be white, although 
faintly tinged with cream. Often marked at base with maroon. Very fine. 
7 cts. each; 70 cts. per doz.; $5 per 100. 
Citrinum is rather more erect in habit, with flowers almost pure white with 
strongly contrasting deep citron on lower third. One of the loveliest of all. 
5 cts. each; 50 cts. per doz. 
Grandiflorum robustum is a superb species with flowers of the brightest 
buttercup yellow. The leaves have no mottling—just plain green. It always at¬ 
tracts attention. 6 cts. each; 60 cts. per doz.; $4 per 100. 
Hartweggii is as pretty as Californicum, with more yellow in the flower, and 
each flower on a separate stalk. Very early and stands much heat. Good for 
pots. Large bulbs, 5 cts each; 50 cts. per doz.; $3.50 per 100; smaller bulbs 
cheaper. 
Hendersonii. Like Californicum, but the flowers are a lovely light purple, 
with centers a deep maroon, almost black. Most striking. 5 cts. each; 50 cts. 
per doz.; $3.50 per 100. 
Howellii is related to Citrinum, creamy with a yellow tint, but soon turns 
pinkish. 6 cts. each; 60 cts. per doz.; $4.50 per 100. 
Purdyi has flowers borne like Hartweggii, but cream colored, with a very 
delicate light lemon center. 10 cts. each; 75 cts. per doz.; $5 per 100. 
Tuolumnensis is quite new to both the garden and science. Large leaves, 
not mottled, and golden yellow flowers. The bulbs are very large and by off¬ 
setting form large clumps. Not too free flowering, but very distinct. 10 cts. 
each; $1 per doz.; $7.50 per 100. 
REVOLUTUM, DOG’S-TOOTH VIOLETS 
The stems are long, the flowers large and exqusitely tinted, often single, 
never more than four to the stem, and the leaves are mottled in white and 
green. While the plants thrive in garden loam, they do well in heavy soils 
which are quite wet in winter. 
Revolutum Type. This very fine species is often 18 in. high with stout stems 
and from 1 to 4 large flowers. They vary in color from white, tinted lavender, 
to pinkish lavender to deep pink. A fine strain and will thrive on soil wet in 
winter. 10 cts. each; $1 per doz.; $7.50 per 100. 
Pink Beauty is a deep lavender pink and most beautiful. It has all the vigor 
of Revolutum. No Erythronium excels it. 12 cts. each; $1 per doz.; $7.50 
per 100. 
Rose Be.auty is like Pink Beauty, but a deep rose pink. Very striking. 
Flowers at least three weeks earlier than Pink Beauty. Each 10 cts.; $1 per 
doz.; $7.50 per 100. 
Johnsonii is perhaps the most lovely of all Erythroniums. With the stout 
habit of this group, it has exquisite rose-pink flowers. From the coastal region 
of Oregon. 10 cts. each; $1 per doz.; $7.50 per 100. 
Purdy’s White is a pure white, rather than a lavender white It is very richly 
marked at the base and has an unusually stout stem and large bold flower. An 
Eastern Erythronium lover writes that it was the most admired of all in her 
collection. 12 cts. each; $1 per doz. 
Praecox is an early blooming unusually fine variety. The leaves are mottled in 
browns, the flowers are large and of a very fine rich-cream color, richly banded 
maroon. One of the finest of all. 10 cts. each, $1 per doz., $7.50 per 100. 
Watsonii is also known as Giganteum, but is hardly of this class. It has white 
flowers, beautifully zoned at base with brown. 8 cts. each; 80 cts. per doz.; 
$6.00 per 100.
