pollenized by bees similar to those which pollenize 
the yellow Canada Lily. 
In the West there is a Red Lily quite similar 
to the Philadelphia Lily in appearance, while in 
the South there is still another similar species. 
The Carolina Lily is an attractive flower found 
in dry woods in the southern states. 
In the older settled regions of the United States 
the Tiger Lily is not uncommon as an escape from 
cultivation. It usually marks the site of a ruined 
or deserted homestead. The magnificent flowers 
are always attractive and add greatly to the road-

To gild refined gold, to paint the Lily, 
To throw a perfume on the Violet,

Unto the rainbow, or with taper-light 
To seek the beauteous eye of heaven to garnish 
Is wasteful and ridiculous excess. 
Shakespeare.
