under all conditions. It bears 7 to 8 
lavender orchid shaped flowers on a stem

Calochortus, Mariposa Tulip 
A distinctive, dainty little plant with a 
charm all its own, is this delightfully 
colorful Mariposa Tulip. This little cup- 
shaped flower of delicate shade, with an 
eye of a brighter, contrasting yet blend- 
ing color, poised atop a graceful slen- 
der, slightly curving stem, gives a picture 
difficult to describe. They are not of 
easiest culture, however, anyone may 
grow them with a little care. Plant the 
bulbs twice their depth in deep, well 
drained, gritty soil, just before the ground 
freezes, and mulch them to a depth of 
several inches with leaves or straw to 
prevent alternate freezing and thawing. 
We can supply you with a fine mixture of 
dainty colors. 3 for 25c: 6 for 45c; 12 for 
80c.
