WEST COAST NATIVE BULBS 
Calochortus 
These lovely bulbous plants are becoming- more 
used each year as gardeners learn of their ex¬ 
quisite beauty. 
(Globe Tulips) 
Albus (White Fairy Lantern). Exquisite white 
flowers with faint greenish tinge, almost trans¬ 
lucent. From each stem, about 9 inches tall, swing 
gracefully many of the little lantern-like flowers. 
12 for 50c, 100 for $3.50. 
Amabilis. Several clear yellow flowers on 
strong branching stems about a foot high. Like 
partial shade and loose soil containing leaf mold. 
12 for 60c. 
Amoenus. A very beautiful plant similar to 
Albus, but bearing numerous globes of soft rose 
pink on slender branching stems. 12 for 60c; 100 
for $4.00. 
(Mariposa or Butterfly Tulips) 
Eurocarpus. Very showy large flowers of white 
with a large purple blotch on each petal. Each 
slender 12 to 15-in. stem carries an umbel of sev¬ 
eral flowers. Very hardy. Needs good drainage 
and should dry out thoroughly in summer. 12 for 
75c. 
Macrocarpus. Exquisite lavender flowers with 
a greenish band down the back. One or two large 
flowers on stiff stems about a foot high. Likes 
same conditions as the preceding varieties. 12 
for 75c. 
Venustus Eldorado. A wonderfully varied mix¬ 
ture. White, lilac to purple and pink to deep red, 
variously marked. Porous soil, either sun or light 
shade. 12 for 60c. 
Mariposa or Butterfly Tulips 
From a good customer in Oshkosh, Wisconsin: 
“Had beautiful flowers this spring from bulbs 
purchased last fall.” 
Fritillarias 
The fritillarias are near relatives of the lilies 
with pendant bell-shaped flowers and leafy stems. 
Lanceolata. Queerly mottled flowers of green 
and brown. Stems about iy 2 ft. high. They need 
a porous soil containing leaf mold. Partial shade. 
12 for 80c. 
Pudica. Three to six golden bells on stems 
about 6 in. high. Needs full sun and a light loose 
soil. 12 for 80c. 
Recurva. Like a small lily with orange scarlet 
flowers. Stout stems 1 y 2 to 3 ft. high. Culture 
the same as lanceolata. 12 for $1.00. 
Camassia Leichtlinii 
Camassia (Camas) 
An Oregon native that is perfectly hardy and 
succeeds in places where other bulbs could not 
live. They are often found in low wet places sub¬ 
merged in the winter and baked hard in the sum¬ 
mer. They take kindly to cultivation and do well 
under ordinary garden conditions or when nat¬ 
uralized along the sides of streams and ponds or 
in the open woods. Plant in the fall about four 
inches deep, preferably in clumps of a dozen or 
more. The bulbs may be left undisturbed for years. 
Cusickii. This rather scarce species produces 
bulbs of enormous size. From them arise numer¬ 
ous wide gray-green leaves. The erect spike bears 
a great number of medium sized blossoms of soft 
blue-lavender. Each 20c, 12 for $2.00. 
Leichtlinii. We consider this the finest of all 
Camassias, and it certainly deserves a place among 
the choice plants in any garden. The blossom 
spikes have been likened to Eremuri, although the 
stems are not as tall, but the individual flowers 
are more attractive. Well-grown plants often have 
stems up to 4 and 5 feet with as many as 100 buds 
that open in long succession. Foliage is heavy 
and deep green. The beauty of the blue types is 
greatly enhanced by the bright golden anthers. 
We can supply (1) creamy white, (2) intense deep 
blue, (3) bright medium blue, and (4) a mixture 
containing all these colors. 12 for 75c, 100 for $5.00. 
Quamash. Clear deep blue flowers on stems 
about 2 feet tall. Showy in masses. 12 for 50c, 
100 for $3.00.
