Calochortus - Mariposa Culips 
Until one has seen a good collection of these plants, he has no idea how 
much Nature can do in the variation of one flower. One to many on a 
stem, wonderfully marked with eyes and dots and pencilings in rich colors, 
are characteristics. ‘’Mariposa’’ is simply the Spanish word for butterfly, 
and is applied to these Tulips because the eyes and markings are so much 
like those on a butterfly’s wings. 
Clavatus Doz. $2.25, 100 $14.00 
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 yeilow, 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. $0.95, 100 $6.50 
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. (Color illustration, page 24.) 

Camasta 
(Hardy) 
There are few bulbous plants that meet climatic or soil conditions better 
or give ag more attractive bloom. They are hardy without protection, and 
thrive either under ordinary garden conditions or when naturalized in open, 
moist woods or in not too dense a grassy growth. The flower stems are 2 to 
4 feet high with as many as a hundred star-shaped flowers measuring 1 
inches across and flowering in long succession. 
Cusicki Doz. $3.00, 100 $23.00 
This is the giant of the race, about twice as tall and large as the popu- 
lar Esculenta. Like the others it is excellent for cutting, woodland or 
garden planting, and survives and increases rapidly in the swampiest of 
places, as well as in the hardest, driest clay. 
Doz. $1.10, 100 $7.50 
Esculenta 
Very showy in mass planting. Forms flower spikes 2 feet high, bearing 
a cluster of star-shaped flowers of a very fine, rich purple. Fine for wet 
and swampy places where other bulbs do not grow. 
Leichtlini Doz. $1.55, 100 $10.25 
Same as preceding but stronger grower, flowers are larger and come in 
various hues of blue and creamy white. Again does well where other 
bulbs fail. (Color illustration, page 21.) 

Gladiolus, Tecolote Hybrids 
[22] 
Crocus Venus - Dutch Crocus 
The finding of these Crocus in bloom is one of the genuine “delights of 
life. Though we may eventually plant them by the thousands or may have 
been so long at gardening that little surprises us, yet that first Crocus is a 
great event. 
*Mixed Colors of the Standard Varieties. No. 1 size. 
Doz. $1.35, 100 $9.00 
Colchicum - Meadow Saffron 
(Giant Autumn-Flowering Crocus) 
Colchicum are autumn-flowering bulbs with large Crocus-like blossoms 
which appear during the months of September and October, without foliage. 
The foliage, however, appears early in the spring about the same time the 
Tulips and Hyacinths are in bloom and disappears in June. They are espe- 
cially recommended for planting between the taller growing rock plants 
such as Cerastium, Vinca, Pachysandra, and the various Sedums, where 
their bold, checkered Crocus-like blossoms are seen to the best advantage. 
Blooming in September and October when flowers in the rockery are scarce, 
they are especially valuable. They may also be planted in the open woods 
or in naturalistic plantings of any sort. The bulbs, if kept indoors, will 
bloom during September and October in the window without any earth or 
water and after blooming, the bulbs may be planted in early November 
outdoors, and will not suffer in the least.
