Calochortus Amabilis, C. Amoenus, 
C. Albus 
LOVELY GLOBE TULIPS 
(Calochortus) 
Words convey only a faint idea of these flowers. Their 
form is similar, but there is a great difference in color. All 
are exquisite in tints and the perfection of grace in form. The 
plants are rather tall and slender, with leaf-wrapped stems 
of odd shape. They are natives of woodlands, delighting in 
loose soil and liking leaf-mold and light shades. At the same 
time, most of them will do well in heavy soils, and are fine 
subjects to naturalize amiong rocks or in shaded woods. In 
the East, as well as the West, they succeed very well if given 
the care suggested in cultural directions. 
Flowering Time of Globe Tulips is late March to early 
May, according to locality. 
These bulbs may be planted Sept. to Dec. only. 
Albus, Fairy Lanterns. Growing up to 18 inches tall the well- 
branched plants bear many of the lovely lantern-like 
flowers which are a pure satiny white. Each 5 cts.; 50 
cts, per doz.; $3.50 per 100. 
Amabilis, Diogenes Lanterns. The picture shows but a small 
measure of its loveliness. The well-branched stems are 15 
inches high, bearing many of the rich deep yellow flow- 
ers. Each 5 cts.; 50 cts. per doz.; $3.50 per 100. 
Amoenus, Pink Lanterns. This grows not quite so tall, 8 
inches, and the exquisite flowers are a soft rose-pink. 
Each 7 cts.; 70 cts. per doz. 
Globe Tulips Mixed. 50 cts. per doz.; $3.50 per 100.

which are wet in winter and very moist until after the 
flowering season. The plant grows to 8 inches with many 
very fine lilac flowers which open full, and fragrant and

quite hardy. Any garden soil, preferably a sandy loam.
