with the vulgar and mal- 
odorous Onion and Garlic; but that is Nature’s fault, 
not the author’s. There they stand, Lilium and 
Allium, sections of the extensive and beautiful Lily 
family, and included with them are plants of the most 
diverse character—Squills and Saffron, Asphodel and 
Tulip, Snake’s-head and Star of Bethlehem, Lily of 
the Valley and Solomon’s Seal, even such oddities as 
Asparagus and Butcher’s Broom—plants that have 
given up producing leaves. In some of these it is not 
easy at first sight to see any resemblance to the 
typical Lily ; yet a closer examination of the flowers 
will discover the fundamental plan of the Lily even 
in so remarkable a plant as Butcher’s Broom.
