Dutch and Mariposa Tulips 
Cottage Tulips 
Cottage Tulips have been found for the most part 
sequestered in the old cottage gardens of the British 
Isles. They are often marked by long, rather pointed 
petals and thin, wiry stems. 
Gesneriana Major 3 12 for 80c; 25 for $1.45

slender segments. Makes a magnificent bed massed 
against evergreens. 28 in.

Glossy, canary-yellow. Large globular flowers. 
Has the true shape of the Darwin Tulip. Plant

New Lily-Flowering Tulips 
As a result of crossing the dainty, pointed petaled 
Tulip retroflexa with a pink Darwin, we have a very 
beautiful and distinct race of tulips with graceful, 
slightly reflexing flowers with curved pointed petals, 
carried on tall, sturdy stems. As a flower for cutting, 
they surpass all others in grace. 
Alaska 12 for $1.00; 25 for $1.90 
Remarkable, clear, soft, bright yellow of elegant 
habit. Petals slightly reflexed. Long, slender 
flower, with form as interesting as its charming 
color.

A charming rosy-pink, shaded pale yellow. Its 
severe and simple beauty makes it very effective, 
and commends it highly to the artistic sense. Fine 
stem. 
Calochortus 
(Mariposa Tulips) 
“Mariposa” is the Spanish for Butterfly. The wonder¬ 
ful markings of eyes, dots and pencillings in rich colors, 
on the petals of the cup-shaped flowers vie with those of 
the Butterfly. They flower from May to June from bulbs 
planted October to December 15th. They are hardy; 
require friable loam and do not resent adobe soil, but 
must be perfectly drained; they are happy in full sun. 
They have good stems and keep well as cut flowers. 
Luteus Citrinus 12 for 60c; 25 for $1.10 
A most excellent flower. Rich deep lemon-yellow 
petals with dark brown spot near base.

yellow; lower half covered by stiff yellow hairs.

Very handsome. Superb large flower of a satiny 
pinkish lilac. 30 inch branched stems.

flowers, particularly for house decoration or for clumps
