Calochortus - Nariposa Cu li; x 
Until one has seen a good collection of these plants, he has, no ide 
much Nature can do in the variation of one flower. One to many 
stem, wonderfully marked with eyes and dots and pencilings in rich c 
are characteristics. ‘Mariposa’ is simply the Spanish word for butt 
and is applied to these Tulips because the eyes and markings are so muc 
like those on a butterfly’s wings. 
Clavatus Doz. $1.75, 100 $12.5 
The largest flowered and the stoutest stemmed of all Mariposa Tulips. 
The blooms, which are shaped like a bowl, are often over 4 inches across, 
of a deep yellow, and the lower half covered by stiff yellow hairs. 
*Venustus oculatus Doz. $1.00, 100 $6.75 
Wonderfully varied in whites and cream, more or less tinted purple, 
and with very rich eyes. We have had the flowers 4 inches across. The 
plant is a good grower, and the flowers are most satisfactory. 
Mixed Colors and Varieties Doz. $0.85, 100 $5.25 
They grow from 1 to 2 feet high and branch. The flowers are 
simply marvelous in their variety of colors and markings. Scarcely 
two are alike; in a mixed lot they may vary through white, lilac to 
purple and again through shades of pink to claret-red. 
In any mix- 
ture whites, more or less eyed, predominate. There is no better 
investment for the flower lover than a quantity of these bulbs. They 
thrive best in a rather porous soil, either sandy or gritty, and will 
grow either in sun or light shade. Flowers are 2 to 4 inches in 
diameter. Mixed colors.
