CALOCHORTUS, known as the Butterfly or 
Mariposa Tulips, Globe Tulips and £tar Tulips. 
These lovely Californian bulbous plants, although 
belonging to the same genus as the Tulips of our 
gardens, bear little resemblance to them ; they have 
a light, graceful growth and bloom through May and 
June, while for delicacy of texture and brilliancy 
of colour and markings the flowers are unsurpassed ; 
they deserve a place in every hardy flower border and 
rock-garden. The Mariposa or Butterfly Tulips are 
especially valuable for cutting, having long stems 
and being profuse continuous bloomers. 
Culture Outdoors. —The Calochorti are all quite 
hardy. The “Mariposa” and “Star Tulips” 
require a sunny position and light gritty or sandy soil, 
with sharp drainage. Plant from October to end of 
November, about 3 inches deep, and 3 inches apart, 
preferably covering the beds with straw or cut 
heather, to break the Winter rains and keep the 
soil open ; remove the covering in March. A posi¬ 
tion facing south and sunny spots in the rock- 
garden are specially suitable. When in full growth 
give occasional soakings of water, but not too 
frequently. After flowering, ripen off by placing 
glass over the plants, and take up when foliage dies 
down. The “Globe Tulips ”, being woodland plants, like partial shade and a porous soil composed 
principally of leaf mould. 
Culture in Pots. — The Calochorti all make charming pot plants (three or four bulbs in a pot), 
and are easily grown in a cold greenhouse or frame with south aspect.
