CALIFORNIA WILD FLOWER BULBS AND PLANTS, Continued 
One of the chief difficulties preventing 
successful culture of Mariposa Tulips ap¬ 
parently lies in improper water application. 
The bulb 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 seem quite 
necessary to control the rust of the foliage.
