■arly in January, and by the end of February nearly all were showing above 
ground. The .reeds were then removed. In my opinion a good many failures 
lo grow caloehorti may be attributed to late planting. The main points in the 
culture of caloehorti are early planting, a light porous soil, sunny position, pro¬ 
tection from heavy winter rains, (but not coddling), plenty of water whilst in 
full growth, and thorough ripening of the bulbs in August, either by taking them 
up or placing lights over them.” 
I would add that experience in England is tending to show that late plant¬ 
ing is often best. 
I find that Caloehorti which are subject to mildew do better if planted in 
January or February, this is especially true of the desert species such as ('. 
Ivennadyii, ( . Nuftalii and ('. maerocarpns. For these 1 would always recom¬ 
mend late planting.

If will be noted that the conditions essential to success are much the same 
everywhere taking climatic peculiarities into account. In Australasia exactly 
the treatment recommended for California should be given, but there they would 
be used for spring planting. In Central Europe as in the Eastern United States* 
and in the South as in California only seeing that they are thoroughly dried oft 
after flowering and lay dormant untill the.proper season for growth. 
SECTION 1. GLOBE TU LIPS 
Supplies of all of these are certain and the bulbs are readv for delivery after 
July 30th. 
Glob - Tulips have a single long glossy leaf, slender and very graceful stems, 
and many flowers. The blossoms are globular in form, pendent like hells, and 
of the most exquisite silk texture. The plants as a whole are the perfection of 
grace, and while scarcely brilliant are most beautiful. They are natives of the 
woodland, delighting in a loose soil with some mold, and light shade. There 
arc no more charming subjects for naturalization than these woodland beauties. 
Albus. Fairy Bell. Lantern of the Fairies. White Globe Tulip. This most 
charming plant has stout, many flowered stems often a foot high. The large 
pendent blossoms are perfect globes, pure pearly white, an inch in diameter, 
edged with silky hairs. $l.of) 5.00 
C. Albus. The Pearl. This is the form common in the Northern Coast 
Ranges and while lower in growth than the other has a finer flower. In 
shape it is a large pendent globe well inarched and of the most exquisite 
texture. _ $1.50 $10.00 
Amoenus. Pink Globe Tulip. An exquisitely lovely form of (he preceding with 
glowing rose-pink blossoms. $4.50 $30-00 
Amabilis. Long known as Pulehellus. The flowers of this splendid sort are 
golden yellow in color, numerous, and of the same shape as the paper 
pin wheels with which children play. $1.51) $10.00 
Pulehellus True. This is the original species discovered fifty years ago, but only 
i ecently introduced to cultivation. It is quite different, from Amabilis, and 
can be described as a lemon yellow ALBUS. I have never seen more 
beautiful Caloehorti than this species as I grew it last summer. $4.50
