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 ona 
stem, wonderfully marked with eyes and dots, and pencillings 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 95c, Doz. $1.50, 100 $10.00 
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 95c, Doz. $1.50, 100 $10.00 
They grow from 1 to 2 feet high and branch. The flowers aire 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 
There is no better invest- 
ment 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.

whites, more or less eyed, predominate. 
FREESIAS 
Without doubt the most sweetly scented flower grown; a single bloom 
permeates the living-room with its delicate perfume. Although they are 
quite popular and very easily raised, we suggest the following treatment: 
Procure the bulbs as early as possible and plant them in August, 6 to 25 
bulbs for a single pan. The soil should be a mixture of good loam. The 
bulbs planted early, say August and September, must be placed outdoors 
until cold weather sets in; must be regularly watered and kept growing all 
the time. In November, before frosts appear, the pots should be placed 
in the window of a cool room. 
Celeste Six 75c, Doz. $1.20, 100 $8.00 
Deep violet-blue. Large flowers and one of the best of its color. Won- 
derful for cutting; stems are quite long and rigid. (Color illustration,

brown and purple bell-shaped flowers in curiously checkered shades, on 
stems 12 inches high. They are very effective in colonies, requiring a 
somewhat dry situation. Invaluable for the rockery, for naturalizing 
and very lovely grown in pans indoors; use same culture as for Freesia. 
GLADIOLUS NANUS .- Early Flowering 
These Baby Gladiolus are extensively used for winter forcing, can be 
forced by the end of March, and come in very useful when most bulbs have 
gone. Noted for their lasting qualities, slender stems and dainty, Orchid- 
like flowers. 
Mixture of Gladiolus Nanus Six 90c, Doz. $1.50, 100 $10.00

one of the earliest of all winter-flowering bulbs. 
Bulbs will be ready in September, when they may be planted in pots or 
pans. They may also be placed in the more artistic ornamental bowls, 
pebbles or fiber as a filler, which only needs to be kept continually moist. 
Bulbs planted in September bloom in December.

open flowers in a raceme at the top with several smaller flowering 
branches below. Color varies from pure white through shades of pink 
overlaid with a bluish tinge. Excellent for cutting. 
Mixed Six 95c, Doz. $1.50, 100 $9.75 
These beautiful bulbs from the Cape Colony (South Africa) are far too 
little known; they should be planted in late autumn and in cold dis- 
tricts they must be covered with a thick layer of straw or leaves. They 
are splendid for southern states. There are few bulbs so lovely and 
graceful and those fortunate enough to live where the climate is mild 
should plant them by the hundreds.
