Calochortus venustus. Mariposa Lily or Calif. Tulips. Spanish settlers 
called them Butterfly Tulips because the flower markings are like butterfly’s 
wings. Resemble Tulips and are closely related. Plant 3” deep (deeper in 
north) in well drained sandy soil to which leaf mould has been added. No 
fertilizer. Full sun or slight shade. Water sparingly when growing. Should 
have none when dormant in summer. Hardy. 
Two varieties are considered best. Citrinus, deep rich yellow with black 
eye. 6c. Vesta, 3” to 5” flowers. White, flushed lilac. Red center. Considered 
the best of all. Prefers heavy soil, does well in any. 10c. 
Colchicum. They arouse much interest because they may be laid on a 
table, without soil or water, and will flower thus. 
Plant in a border or rockery before Sept. 10 if possible. They will flower 
in storage in spite of us so please order very early. They are recommended 
for full sun or half shade. Here, we think our full sun is too “‘full’’ and prefer 
slight shade. Keep them dry when dormant. They may be grown in pots. 
Owing to their habit of flowering before foliage appears they look nicer 
among low plants and suggest Sedums. Each bulb usually produces several 
spikes. Prices—L. 40c ea., M. 30c. Small Sedum Clump, 15c. 
Hyacinths. For obvious reasons, it is impossible for most dealers to offer 
Dutch Hyacinths. Supplies of Roman Hyacinths are much below last year’s 
stocks. Other Hyacinth relatives may be substituted. We advise Scillas, Lach- 
enalias, Muscari and Veltheimias. The closest in resemblance to the Roman 
Hyacinth is Scilla hispanica, and America’s supply of these is dwindling rapidly. 
Roman Hyacinths, Their culture is easier than that of Dutch Hyacinths. 
They are very fragrant and send up several spikes from each bulb. Plant 3” 
deep in south, a little deeper in north with a mulch for winter protection in far 
north. Rich sandy loam is best soil and part shade preferred. Their bed 
should not receive too much water when they are dormant but they need abun- 
dant water when growing. 
Blue Roman Hyacinths, 15c ea. $1.50 doz. 
White Roman Hyacinths, 25c ea. $2.25 doz. 
Pink Roman Hyacinths, 50c ea. $4.00 doz. 
Dutch Hyacinths. We can grow these but did not attempt it when we 
could depend on Holland as a source. Now we have only about 50 of a good 
blooming size, ranging from 1” to nearly 2” diam. You will need to want them 
very much to pay the price we are willing to sell for. We have several named 
varieties and some are mixed. If you order, we will try to supply the color
