These are handsome hardy bulbous plants of the Pacific slope of the United States. They have a few grassy radical leaves, and one or several slender stalks terminating in either an open umbel, or a dense umbellate head. Reliable bloomers, growing well in almost any soil or under any conditions. Perfectly hardy in the Eastern United States and Europe. The bulbs are easily kept dry for months, and are not at all subject to de- cay, and do not bruise readily, good points from a dealer’s standpoint. 4 Section I. BRODIABA LAXA S. Watson.

Tf consider it the finest of all Calochorti. The habit is tall, strong and vig- orous. The immense flowers three to five inches across, are borne on long stalks and are numerous. Petals broad fan shaped with hairy gland across base, and a broad eye and band across middle. Color white, suffused with lilac to rose purple. Center red. Back of petal purple. It grows in any soil, from heavy wet clay to light loam, and is not subject to disease. It propagates rapidly, having severai strong offsets each year, which in two years make large bulbs. Reports from Europe are that it succeeded where all others fail.
