CALOCHORTUS - Mariposa Tulips 
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 like those on a butterfly’s wings. 
Clavatus Six $1.25, 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 yellow, and the lower half covered 
by stiff yellow hairs. 
Venustus oculatus Six 70c, Doz. $1.20, 100 $8.00 
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 Six 70c, Doz. $1.20, 100 $8.00 
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 mixture 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 
grow either in sun or light shade. Flowers are 2 to 4 inches in diameter. Mixed colors. (Color
