CAMASSIA LEICHTLINII 
CAMASSIA (Camas) 
WEST COAST NATIVES 
GRANDIFIjORA (Harvest Brodiaea). A few lai'ge glossy purple 
flowers of great beauty make up the umbel of this variety. Very 
long lasting. Naturalizes easily, especially in clay soil. 12 for 50c, 
100 for $3.00. 
HENDERSONII. This pretty species has a head of eight to 
twelve tubular flowers, soft yellow with a purple line down the cen¬ 
ter of each segment. About 12 inches high. 12 for 60c, 100 for $4.00. 
LACTEA. Numerous cupped florets of white with green midrib 
on stems about 2 ft. high. 12 for 50c. 
LAXA “Blue Milla.” The fine blue flowers grow in a large 
spreading umbel—6 to 8 inches wide. It is really a splendid thing. 
12 for 70c, 100 for $5.00. 
MIXED BRODIAEAS. A splendid assortment of the different 
types and colors. We think you will find this a very interesting 
mixture. 12 for 40c, 100 for $3.00. 
BREVOORTIA IDA-MAIA (Brodiaea Coccinea). Floral Fire¬ 
cracker. An unusually attractive and interesting flower. The flower 
heads are made up of a dozen or so tubular florets colored brilliant 
crimson with pea-green tips. Stems l%-2 feet. 12 for 70c. 
ALLIUM AMPLECTANS. An attractive little allium that looks 
very much like a pink brodiaea. Many bright rose-pink florets set 
closely in a compact umbel. 12 to 15 inches. 12 for 50c. 
CALOCHORTUS 
Globe Tulips or Fairy Lanterns 
These are the daintiest little flowers imaginable. Each gracefully 
arching stem carries a number of the little pendant globe-like tiny 
Chinese lanterns. They are natives of woodlands where they have 
partial shade and plenty of leaf mold. 
ALBUS (White Fairy Lantern). Exquisite white flowers with a 
faint greenish tinge on slender arching stems about a foot high. 
12 for 50c, 100 for $3.50. 
AMABILIS (Yellow Fairy Lantern). Several clear yellow flowers 
on slender branching stems up to 15 inches high. 12 for 60c, 100 
for $4.00. 
This Oregon native bulb has not been used in gardens 
in anything like the quantity it deserves. We use bulbs 
from all over the world and overlook one right at home 
that is superior to many of the foreign importations. 
While the camassias are usually thought of as bulbs 
which grow in ground that is very wet in winter, that 
is frequently not the case particularly with Leichtlinii. 
They thrive splendidly under ordinary garden condi¬ 
tions in full sun or in partial shade. As the bulbs may 
be left undisturbed for years they are excellent for 
naturalizing. Plant in the fall about six inches deep, 
preferably in clumps of a dozen or more. 
LEICHTLINII. This is the most beautiful of the 
camassias and the strains we list are the finest to be 
had anywhere. Well grown plants often reach a height 
of four or five feet with as many as 100 buds that open 
in long succession. The beauty of the blue types is 
greatly enhanced by the bright golden anthers. Deep 
purple blue. This splendid color is the richest of all. 
12 for $1.00, 100 for $7.50. 
Bright Medium Blue. There is considerable variation 
in this strain, from lavender-blue to violet-blue, but all 
are beautiful. 12 for 75c, 100 for $5.00, 1000 for $45.00. 
In this type only we can supply a second size blooming 
bulb at 12 for 60c, 100 for $4.00, 1000 for $35.00. 
Creamy White. Some specimens are pure white, oth¬ 
ers definitely yellowish. 12 for 75c, 100 for $5.00, 1000 for 
$45.00. 
All Colors Mixed. An excellent mixture containing all 
the above. 12 for 75c, 100 for $5.00, 1000 for $45.00. 
CUSICKII. This rather scarce species produces bulbs 
of enormous size. From them arise numerous 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. 
BRODIAEAS and Similar Bulbs 
The Brodiaeas are attractive bulb flowers with numer¬ 
ous florets in large clusters or umbels on slender but 
strong bare stems. The blossoms are very long lasting 
either on the plant or when cut. Hardy and easily grown 
in almost any soil either in full sun or partial shade. 
They should have plenty of moisture until blooming 
time. Plant about 3 inches deep. 
CAPITATA. A close cluster of violet-blue flowers on 
slender stems about 2 ft. high. A long lasting cutflower. 
12 for 50c. 
AMOENUS (Rose Fairy Lantern). Similar to Albus but the flowers 
are soft rose pink. About 9 inches high. 12 for 70c. 
12 each of the above charming fairy lanterns for $1.65. 
MARIPOSA OR BUTTERFLY TULIPS 
The name is derived from the fancied resemblance of the petals with 
their large eye and markings to butterfly wings. These calochorti 
are of easy culture. They are not particular as to soil but must have 
full sun, good drainage and be allowed to remain entirely dry after 
ripening off. 
EUROCARPUS. Beautiful large flowers of white with a large 
purple blotch on each petal. A slender stem 12 to 18 inches long holds 
erect an umbel of several flowers. Very hardy. 12 for 75c, 100 for 
$5.50. 
MACROCARPUS. Exquisite lavender flowers with a greenish 
band down the back. One or two flowers on a stiff stem about a foot 
high. 12 for 75c, 100 for $5.50. 
VENUSTUS ELDORADO. The flowers of this strain show a 
wonderful variation in color and markings. While many of the 
flowers are white, others are in shades of pink and lavender. All of 
them are beautifully marked like gay butterflies poised for flight. 
Each petal has a large splash of deep maroon with colored veinings 
toward the base. The plants grow about 11^ feet high with well 
branched stems. 12 for 60c, 100 for $4.00. 
VENUSTUS CITRTNUS. An excellent species with deep rich yel¬ 
low flowers marked with a black eye. Graceful slender growth. 
12 for 60c, 100 for $4.00. 
ERYTHRONIUMS 
These West coast erythroniums are exquisitely beautiful plants. 
Not only are the flowers lovely with their delicate shades of white, 
yellow, pink and lavender but the foliage is beautiful, too, richly 
mottled. They prefer light shade and a moist, but well drained soil 
rich in leaf mold. Do not expose the bulbs long as they soon suffer 
from overdrying. Plant about three inches deep. 
We are following here the nomenclature of Prof. Applegate of 
Stanford University in his revision of the genus based on a life-long 
study of the Western Erythroniums. 
HELENAE (Californicum bicolor Purdy). The outer part of the 
petals is pure white, the inner part golden yellow without markings 
of any kind, the two colors sharply divided. A strikingly beautiful 
aiid responsive plant in cultivation, the bulbs increasing rapidly. 
Delightfully fragrant. 12 for 60c, 100 for $4.00.
