A Chinese Lily 



The unusual shape of this flower, beautiful though it is, 



shows how even /lowers respond to the ideals of those whom 



theij grow to please. The very lines of this lily suggest dragons 



and those other weird shapes which are pleasing to the eye 



of the Oriental. This transformation in /lowers was 



worked in the same way that the transformation of 



the pear, desciibed here, was brought about.
