THE AMERICAN COWSLIPS-DODECATHEONS 
These dainty plants are among the earliest flowering and most 
charming of our wild flowers. When the first fall rains come they 
start into growth and the first days of early spring bring the flowers. 
All are beautiful and California offers a charming variety. Either 
as pot plants or on roc a work or sheltered nooks they do well. They 
delight ‘in sheltered half shaded places in light soils.

LADY SLIPPERS--CYPRIPEDIUMS

chooses spots where there is much sandy mold and some moisture. 
It'is not at all a difficult plant to grow. The stems are leafy, one to 
I wo feet high, the flowers showy and fragrant with white sack and 
brown twisted sepals. $5 00 $35 00

great matted masses. The flowers are small and yellow.

MISCELLANEOUS RARE PLANTS 
LEUCOCRINUM MONTANUM. Leaves narrow and grass like with 
many pure white fragrant flowers each on a slender stem appearing 
among them. I have found that a loose very sharply drained soil 
suits it well here although it grows naturally in a very sandy soil 
under the low scrubby sage brush of the semi desert regions. 
$3 00 $20 00 
IIESPEROCA LLIS UND.ULATA. A bulbous plant with grassy 
base leaves and a spi e of fragrant paper white flowers. It is native to 
the deserts of Southern California where it grows and flowers quickly 
after the scant rains. It is a difficult plant to succeed with but my 
experience indicates that like Bessera and Milla it is best to keep it 
dormant until late in the spring and to then plant in warm loose soil
