OALOCHORTUS EL DORADO—Here are the 
hues of the rainbow in rare blendings, band¬ 
ings and blotchings. Splendid flowers that re¬ 
mind one a bit of the Tulip, but with a more 
delicate beauty. The petal markings are like 
those of a butterfly’s wing, hence they are 
sometimes called Butterfly Tulips. Branching 
plants to two feet, hardy in well-drained soils. 
Mulch with straw or leaves in exposed loca¬ 
tions. 4 for 25e; 10 for 50c; 25 for $1.00. 
CALOCHORTUS STAR AND GLOBE—One 
cannot show by words the exquisite and grac¬ 
ious beauty of these dainty flowers. Less 
spectacular than the El Dorado strain, they 
show marvelous pastel tones together with 
richer hues. In form they vary from nodding 
fairy lanterns to up-facing fuzzy stars. They 
are even hardier than the El Dorado, but 
prefer a bit of shade, while El Dorado likes 
the sun. 4 for 25c; 10 for 50c; 25 for $1.06.
