ERYTHRONIUM (EHr-i-throh’-ni-um) (Trout lily or Dogtooth violet)—-Lovely 
little woodland plants, in delicate tints of cream, vellow, pink, white, lavender, 
and purple. Very hardy. They love a loose gritty soil, rich in leafmold, but 
also thrive in clays, grits and rock soils, and naturalize in great number in 
open meadows or woodlands of a moist shady position, if well drained. Some 
of these western species are 3 to 5 inches across with stems 4 to 6 inches, even 
12 inches. Plant upon receipt of bulbs, in moist soil—don’t let them dry out, 
it injures them. Set the bulb upright, 2 to 3 inches of soil covering the tip, 
2 inches apart. 
Californicum—Large cream colored flowers, leaves richly mottled. 
Californicum Bicolor—White with chrome vellow center. The only fragrant 
variety and one of the easiest to grow. 
Citrinum—AImost white shading to orange at center. 
Grandiflorum—Brieht buttercup-yellow. 
Giganteum—I[arge cream vellow flowers and beautifully mottled foliage. 
Hendersonii—Lovely light purple, center deep maroon, very striking. 
Revolutum, var. Johnsonii—Exquisite rose-pink flowers—one of the prettiest. 
Tuolumnensis—Golden yellow, quite distinct, form large clumps by off-setting.
