Globe Tulips (Calochortus albus)

GLOBE TULIPS 
Calochortus 
Often referred to as Fairy Lanterns; the 
shape of the flowers and the way they 
hang on the stem suggest the name. 
Plants are much branched and bear a 
number of exquisitely tinted flowers on 
long, leaf-wrapped stems. Globe Tulips 
are natives of woodlands, so should be 
planted in any friable soil mixed with 
plenty of leaf mold. They like some 
shade but not full shade. Fine subjects 
to naturalize in the rock garden or in 
shaded woods. Plant bulbs 2% to 3 in. 
deep and 3 to 6 in. apart. In cold sec- 
tions, provide winter protection after 
ground has become frozen. Bloom in 
May and June. 
9376 Albus White with some bronze 
and pinkish tingeing. 18 to 30 in. 
9377 Amabilis Bright canary yel- 
low, a popular color. Up to 15 in. high. 
9378 Amoenus A delightful shade 
of soft rose-pink. 8to16in.

Early Spring Flowers 
Often before the snow has melted 
the ever welcome little Snowdrops 
are in bloom, and while it may be 
still rather drab outdoors, the 
showy Chionodoxa, the gaudy 
Crocus, the lovely Scillas, and the 
pretty Grape Hyacinthsare bloom- 
ing, reminding us that another 
spring is here. These early flowers 
surely have a charm and appeal 
all their own. See second cover for 
color pictures of these charming 
little harbingers of spring. Plant 
them liberally and try some vari- 
eties that you have never had be- 
fore; many are seen far too seldom

Mariposa Tulips, Mixed Colors 
3 for 30¢; 12 for 90¢ 
MARIPOSA TULIPS 
Calochortus 
‘Mariposa’ means butterfly in 
Spanish, and is applied to these Tulips 
because the ‘‘eyes’’ and markings on 
the gorgeously colored flowers are so 
much like those on the wings of a but- 
terfly. Flowers are cup-shaped and of 
wonderful colors, many marked with 
dots and pencilings. They are borne 
one or more to a stem during May and 
June. Bulbs are small and should be 
planted 2% to 3in. deep and 3 to 6in. 
apart. In cold sections give bed a sur- 
face covering of several inches of 
straw or strawy manure after the 
ground has become frozen. 
9382 Clavatus The bowl-shaped 
blooms, often over 4 in. across, are 
deep golden yellow without markings, 
the lower half being covered with stiff 
yellow hairs. The largest flowered, 
stoutest stemmed Mariposa Tulip. 
3 for 40¢; 12 for $1.40; 100 for $10.00 
9384 Luteus Lemon-yellow to 
cream and white; finely penciled. 
3 for 30¢; 12 for $1.00; 100 for $7.50 
9386 Splendens Clear, unspotted 
lavender; one of the prettiest. 
3 for 30¢; 12 for $1.00; 100 for $7.50 
9388 Venustus Lilac to purple; 
all are marked, penciled, and spotted. 
3 for 30¢; 12for $1.00; 100 for $7.50 
9389 Mixed Colors All the above 
and other gorgeous varieties in mix- 
ture. The oddly colored flowers with 
their eye-like spots and delicate dot 
and line markings are always sure to 
attract attention in garden or house.
