Calochortus Amabilis, C, Amoenus, 
C. Albus 
LOVELY GLOBE TULIPS 
(Calochortus) 
Words convey only a faint idea of these flowers. Their 
form is similar, but there is a great difference in color. All 
are exquisite in tints and the perfection of grace in form. The 
plants are rather tall and slender, with leaf-wrapped stems 
of odd shape. They are natives of woodlands, delighting in 
loose soil and liking leaf-mold and light shades. At the same 
time, most of them will do well in heavy soils, and are fine 
subjects to naturalize among rocks or in shaded woods. In 
the East, as well as the West, they succeed very well if given 
the care suggested in cultural directions. 
Flowering Time of Globe Tulips is late March to early 
May, according to locality. 
These bulbs may be planted Sept. to Dec. only. 
AMOENUS, Please do not order. None 1947. 
Albus, Fairy Lanterns. Sorry. None, 1947. 
Amabilis, Diogenes Lanterns. The picture shows but a small 
measure of its loveliness. The well-branched stems are 15 
inches high, bearing many of the rich deep yellow flowers, 
Each 10 cts.; 70 cts. per doz.; $4.00 per 100. 
Globe and Star Tulips in Mixture. 60 cts. per doz.; $4.00 per 
100.
