The common name for this 

 attractive lily is taken 

 from the Indian name. In 

 the spring and early sum- 

 mer the bulbs of the sego 

 were formerly much used 

 as food by the Gosiutes, 

 constituting a standard 

 source at that time of the 

 year. The bulbs were also 



dried and preserved for 

 winter use in the usual 

 type of pit or " cellar."

 formerly a prized source 

 of food. The bulbs of this

 with hot stones.
