20 FAMILIAR FLOWERS OF FIELD AND GARDEN- 



the tiny white flow- 

 ers are rather insig- 

 nificant ; they are 

 five- pointed, hke a 

 star, with a touch of 

 yellow in the center ; later 

 on, when the pods appear, 

 they contribute a bit of 

 rich brown to the little 

 plant. Gray says purple, 

 but the color is rather a 

 madder-brown. The name 

 means rock-breaker. 



The large 

 Large White ° 



TrilUum. white trilli- 



TriiUum um is considered the finest of all the 



grandiflorum. . . , 



triUiums ; it is certainly a lovely 

 waxy white in color, but inclined toward a pinkish 

 tint as it grows older. It is distinctively a woodland 



lily, which keeps 

 qlear of the mod- 

 erate sunshine of 

 April. The flower 

 has three long white 

 petals without the 

 marking shown in 

 my drawing of the 



Early Saxifrage.
