Calochortus- Mariposa Culips 
Until one has seen a good collection of ihese 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. $2.00, 25 $3.50, 100 $12.50 
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 85c, Doz. $1.30, 25 $2.40, 100 $8.75 
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 85c, Doz. $1.30, 25 $2.40, 100 $8.75 
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 illustration at right.) 
Chico Gl. ory - of. the: Snow 
A mass planting forms one of the most sumptuous displays of floral beauty, a mass of blue 
and white, intense and brilliant. They bloom at the time of the Crocuses, producing dwarf flower 
spikes, bearing from 12.to 15 flowers of a sky-blue with a pure white heart, creating a lovely 
effect. They should be planted in the fall, 3 inches deep, about 18 bulbs to a square foot, in a 
sunny location or in half shade and in places where they can remain undisturbed for a number 
of years. The flowers will cross with one another and will seed themselves, forming natural 
colonies. All are 6 to 7 inches high, therefore excellent in the rockery as well. 

Gigantea (Alleni) Doz. 75c, 25 $1.30, 100 $4.50 
Large light blue flowers, most charming in masses. 
Luciliae Doz. 60c, 25 $1.00, 100 $3.50
