in a small pot filled with ordinary garden soil. Planted in November tt

garden where it will grow freely. Six to eight dainty Cattleya colored 
flowers grow on a stem about 12 to 15 inches tall. These last from 6 to 
8 weeks. Grows as easily as any hardy perennial plant. 
BRODIAEA

deep and leave them alone. They are especially happy under deciduous 
trees, in the rock garden, or in rough, gritty soils.

This mixture contains the following colors: blue, red, yellow, white, and 
is good for naturalizing. Bulbs self-sow and increase quite rapidly. 
CALLA - Zantedeschia 
Plant Callas indoors in the late fall of the year. In April or May dormant 
bulbs may be planted near the pool in a sunny spot where they will flower 
beautifully in August or September. 
Elliottiana (Yellow Calla) 
Each 60c, Three $1.60, Doz. $5.75, 100 $40.00 
One that should be planted extensively. The deep golden yellow flowers 
are truly magnificent and produced in abundance. The green foliage is 
spotted white, which adds to its beauty; lovely house plant as well as 
garden subject.

The pink or rose Calla. A rather uncommon species native of Natal. 
The flowers are small but pink and therefore most unusual. An uncom- 
mon plant for the greenhouse or indoor culture. 
White Giant Each 75c, Three $2.15, Doz. $7.50 
The flowers of this new Calla are quite unusually shaped. When open 
they are almost flat, not unlike a big rounded waxy white leaf, giving a 
beautiful background to the soft yellow spathe which protrudes from a 
very short flaring center. They produce from 2 to 5 flowers when planted 
in the garden and as many when grown in a pot in the house where they 
make a handsome plant. See illustration, page 52. 
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 on a 
stem, wonderfully marked with eyes and dots, and penciling 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.

of a deep yellow, and the lower half covered by stiff yellow hairs. 
Venustus oculatus Six 75c, Doz. $1.30, 25 $2.45, 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 75c, Doz. $1.30, 25 $2.45, 100 $8.75 
They grow from | 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. Flow- 
ers are 2 to 4 inches in diameter. Mixed colors. 
CAMASSIA (Hardy) 
There are few bulbous plants that meet climatic or soil conditions better 
or give a more attractive bloom. They are hardy without protection, and 
thrive either under ordinary garden conditions or when naturalized in open, 
moist woods or in not too dense a grassy growth. The flower stems are 
2 to 4 feet high with as many as a hundred star-shaped flowers measuring 
114 inches across and flowering in long succession. 
Esculenta Six 45c, Doz. 60c, 25 $1.15, 100 $3.50 
Very showy in mass planting. Forms flower spikes 2 feet high, bearing 
a cluster of star-shaped flowers of a very fine, rich purple. Fine for wet 
and swampy places where other bulbs do not grow. 
Leichtlini Blue Six $1.35, Doz. $2.25, 25 $4.00, 100 $14.00 
Same as preceding but stronger grower, flowers are larger and con 
various hues of blue and creamy white. Again does well where other 
bulbs fail.
