Lilac ou creamy white ground, spotted with maroon,and yellow, erect. cts. per doz. Calochortus Mixed. A selection of the hardiest varieties. 5 cts. each ; 50 cts per doz CALOCHORTUS. (Mariposa or Butterfly Tulips). Yery beautiful California bulbs blooming in summer. The flowers which somewhat resemble a tulip in shape are of rich and brilliant colors in various shades of white, purple and yellow, borne on stiff slender stalks, 8 to 20 inches high, from a few to 15 or 20 on a stalk. They do well when grown in pots ; when grown in the open, a warm sheltered position should be chosen and protec- tion given during winter. The soil best suited to them is a sandy peat. The follow- ing are the six best, most distinct and showy varieties. Calochortus albus. Flow- ers nodding, pearly white, very large. 10 cts. each ; 80 cts. per doz. C. pulchellus. Nodding flow- ers of a golden yellow color. 10 cts. each ; 80 cts. per doz. C. lilacinus. Erect cups. Lilac, beautifully marked. 10 cts. each ; 80 c. per doz. 10 cts. each ; 80 cts. per doz. each ; 80 cts. per doz. 10 cts. each : 80 CRINUMS. C. Americanum. Large spikes of delicious white sweet-scented flowers. Large bulbs, 35 cts. each; $ per doz. Crinum Capense Rosea. While much praise has been bestowed on some southern Crinums sold at $1. to S3, each, here is one which is just as beau- tiful, and which would be hardy in any but the most northern localities, with a slight protection. but it is really too beautiful a flower to plant in the garden, and can best be enjoyed indoors. Its flowers are borne on stems 2 to 3 feet high ; they are very- large, funnel-shaped, white tinged with red. and produced in umbels of 10 to 20 flowers, frequently blooming several times dur- CYCLAMEN EUROPIUM. Certainly most interesting and beautiful winter and spring flowering
