The varieties of the Funkia, or Day Lily, should not be omitted. 

 The common variety is of a rare fragrance, and its flowers are produced 

 in large clusters ; only two or three of the pure white lilies opening at 

 once. It is perfectly hardy in all climates. The variegated species has 

 blueish-white flowers without the delicious odor of the white variety. 

 Its leaves are prettily variegated, and are its chief attraction.
