CALOCHORTUS VESTA 

The Strongest Growing and Loveliest 
of All Mariposa Tulips 

Chosen over 50 years ago from the many 
new flowers I discovered and was privileged 
to name as sufficiently lovely to honor my be- 
loved wife whose name it bears, I have never 
in all these years had cause to regret my 
choice. 
HKasily grown, tall, large flowered and happy 
in any well drained soil, even the heavy adobe 
in which it is native, I have often seen it both 
al a ‘ in the wild and in gardens with stems up to 
UR es } forty-two inches tall and bearing flowers to 
: five, six and even seven inches across when 
fully opened. 
Color is varied, basically pure white, some 
are flushed pink, others lilac or even rose. 
Some bear a large maroon spot while many 
have the broad maroon zone here pictured. 
Very large bulbs $1 per dozen.
