SPECIALLY GROWN CALIFORNIA BULBS
Calochortus Maweanus (white), dainty and beautiful, 4 to 10 inches high; C. Benthamii,
yellow; C. lilacinus, lilac; C. Purdyii, white and much larger than others. Dainty plant for
shaded nooks or rockwork in little colonies.
CALOCHORTI
These are lovely bulbous plants, which are best described under the separate groups.
Section I. Globe Tulips
The beautiful photograph describes Calochortus albus better than any words can. The
others are similar in form, while differing 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 soils, 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.
Globe Tulips are very satisfactory for pot-plants, and a colony of six to twelve makes
a most beautiful mass of color.
