CALIFORNIA WILD FLOWER BULBS AND SEEDS 
There are a few choice varieties of California Wild Flower Bulbs which have lengthy 
blooming season and are attractive enough to be welcome additions to the cultivated 
gardens. They should be more widely planted. 
The bulbs are available in the Fall and Winter to early Spring. Send us your order at 
any time and we will hold it until the proper time for delivery. Many ask us if we gather 
our wild flower bulbs and plants to the detriment of our charming woodland spots. We 
grow all of these species under cultivation with the above-mentioned object of conserving 
our wild flowers. 
CALOCHORTUS: These beautiful little cup-shaped Mariposa Tulips and globe-shaped 
Harebell flowers seem to prefer a heavy soil and do not like manure. We have seen them 
succeed best in heavy adobe ground, a characteristic for which many of us are grateful. 
Blossoming with their most showy and beautifully colored flowers during April and 
May, Mariposa Tulips have no equal. They are most excellent for cutting for the home with 
their graceful stems and nodding flowers. We offer a wide assortment of colors and shades. 
CULTURE OF OUR NATIVE BULBS AND PLANTS 
CALOCHORTUS—GLOBE STRAINS—These pink, yellow and white Harebells love the 
shade and protection of our woodlands, but prefer dry soil during their dormant sum¬ 
mer season. Plant about three inches deep in groups for effect. 
CALOCHORTUS — MARIPOSA TULIP STRAINS —From our observation, these lovely 
flowers prefer a heavy soil with a minimum of moisture and the full sun. They will 
thrive in partial or full shade, but the tendency is toward weak stems, although they 
hold the flowers much longer. 
Plant about three inches deep in groups for effect and it is important that they re¬ 
ceive little moisture while dormant. 
ERYTHRONIUMS—DOG TOOTH VIOLETS—These charming shade-loving plants should 
be planted in masses for effect. Partial shade is necessary and full shade makes them 
much happier. Plant about three inches deep in groups of twelve or more in any well- 
drained garden soil. 
FRITILLARIA—While the Fritillaria will thrive in the sun, they quickly burn and fade 
and we recommend full or partial shade. Plant about three inches deep in any well- 
drained garden soil. 
CAMASSIA—These are sun-loving plants and while the flower is not lasting, it is a beau¬ 
tiful shade of blue and effective for mass plantings. Plant four to five inches deep and 
about four inches apart either in the sun or shade and wet or dry soil. 
CLINTONIA, DICENTRA, DODECATHEON AND TRILLIUMS—All prefer the shade and 
a constant moisture supply in well-drained soil. These are not bulbs, but plants and 
should be set with their crowns at the surface of the ground.
