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

 The common yariety 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 yariegated species has 

 blueish-white flow^ers without the delicious odor of the white yariety. 

 Its leayes are prettily yariegated, and are its chief attraction.
