very early. It grows wild in the Great Basin under bushes in a sandy loam, but a rows 
easily in any loose, light soil. Easily grown as a pot plant or like Calochorti. There 
is but one species. Very hardy.

Giant Dog’s-tooth Violets (Erythronium Hendersonii) 
A charming variety; purplish, with nearly black center

drainage. The flowers are great creamy trumpets 10 inches long and very fra¬

CATALOGS ISSUED. I issue a Catalog of California Native Bulbs at in¬ 
tervals, usually every September. I issue an annual Catalog of Dutch bulbs, 
making a specialty of tulips, daffodils and Spanish irises, and give careful cultural 
directions for California.
