21 CALACINUM AXILLARE—ergkt(9)6. A delightfully 
decorative tangle of wiry-succulent stems and miniature 
leaves. Wee yellow flowers, then black seeds in melting 
white cups. This unusual New Zealand plant makes a dainty 
carpeter, or it can be charming in the rock garden. Hardy 
at Philadelphia. Pkt. 20c. (Plants, each 30c; 8 for 85c.) 
21 CALANDRINIA UMBELLATA—erdx(2-4)6. Clustered

22 CALCEOLARIA BIFLORA—erx(2)6. A rare perennial 
of the Andes, reasonably winter-hardy in the rock garden. 
The flowers are pretty little lady-slippers of golden yellow, 
always in twins (as indeed slippers should be.) Rosettes of 
prostrate leaves. Pkt. 25c. 
25 CALCEOLARIA PEERLESS HYBRIDS—w. A splendid 
pot plant, or may be plunged outside in summer. Giant 
slipper or purse-shaped flowers in a continuity and freedom

larger-flowered, or more variably and brilliantly colored, 
Calceolaria strain than this. Pkt. 25c.

THE CALLA LILIES (Zantedeschias) 
They make splendid winter-blooming pot plants, or they 
can be handled to flower in the garden in summer, where 
they will give most unusual, and attractive, decorative ef- 
fects. Don’t, though, try both seasons in succession with 
the same tubers. They won’t work both winter and summer, 
you will have to choose the season that you want the flow- 
ers. During the “‘off’”? season, let the roots rest in a cool 
cellar in a dormant or semi-dormant condition. Note, though, 
that the Black Calla, which is distinct botanically, will 
please best if handled only for winter pot-growing. TIilus-

32 CALOCHORTUS or BUTTERFLY TULIP 
Though Calochortus is not a Tulip at all, and quite cer- 
tainly not a Butterfly, it is yet a gloriously beautiful thing 
that every one of us should’ have in our gardens. The bulbs 
grow readily from seeds given ‘“‘y’’ treatment, 
one), and while one must wait a bit for them: to reach 
flowering size, growing the. bulbs from seed is an. easy 
way: to get them in quantity at low cost. Mulch the bulbs 
well with straw or litter in late autumn, and they will 
winter through safely, at least they. do with us. Calochorti 
vary exceedingly in form and color of blossoming. There

flies of flowers three to four inches across, in hues of’ the 
rainbow; banded, blotched, embossed in colors and tones 
contrasting. Pink, rose, lilac, lavender, cream, citron, rich 
yellow, even orange scarlet, will appear. If you want in 
your garden, something that is very different, yet strikingly 
beautiful, then plant Calochortus. Jilustrated page 24. Splen-
