CALIFORNIA WILD FLOWER BULBS AND PLANTS 
There are a few choice varieties of California Native Flower Bulbs which have lengthy 
blooming season and are attractive enough to be welcome additions to the cultivated 
gardens. 
Many ask if we gather our wild flower bulbs and plants to the detriment of our charm¬ 
ing woodland spots. We grow all of these species under cultivation with this objective of 
conserving our wild flowers. 
CALOCHORTUS — Globe Strains. These 
pink, yellow and white Hairbells love the 
shade and protection of our woodlands, 
but prefer dry soil during their dormant 
summer season. Plant about three inches 
deep in groups for effect. 
All Species— 
$.85 dozen. $6.00 per 100. $45.00 per 1,000. 
C. albus —Giant strain of White Hairbells.

Calochortus clavatus—Yellow Mariposa Tulip 
CALOCHORTUS —Mariposa Tulip Strains— 
These lovely Butterfly Tulips prefer a 
heavy soil with a minimum of moisture 
and the full sun. They will thrive in par¬ 
tial shade, but the tendency is toward 
weak stems, although they hold the 
flowers longer. Plant about three inches 
deep in groups for effect and it is im¬ 
portant that they receive little moisture 
while dormant. Blossoming with their 
showy and beautifully colored flowers 
during April and May, Mariposa Tulips 
have no equal. They are excellent for 
cutting for the home with their graceful 
stems and nodding flowers. We offer a 
wide assortment of colors and shades. 
One of the chief difficulties preventing 
successful culture of Mariposa Tulips ap¬ 
parently lies in improper water application. 
The bulbs seems to require liberal irrigation 
during the natural rainy season and quite 
limited moisture supply during the spring 
flowering season. 
Spray applications with Bordeaux Solu¬ 
tion during the growing season seems quite 
necessary to control the rust of the foliage.
