48 The Trilliiun. 



The pistil is the queerest of all the parts, being 

 shaped like a vase. It is white, and has three little 

 horns curving out at the top. 



I wonder if any of the children have discovered 

 why this flower is called a trillium ? It is tri-leaved, 

 tri-petaled, tri-everything.
