SNOW TRILLIUM 



Trillium grandiflorum (Michaux) Salisbury 



Snow miliums are a delight to behold when they reach the perfec- 

 tion of growth in spring along with other early spring flowers. They 

 love woodland regions, pushing up from the ground through the 

 covering of brown leaves, and waving in every fitful breeze that 

 blows. As the flowers fade they are flushed with a dainty pink color. 

 Snow miliums are easily grown and quickly spread through the 

 woods when planted, needing no especial care. The soil must be rich, 

 moist, and well drained. The miliums belong to the Lily Family. 



The snow milium has a rather wide range, extending from North 

 Carolina to Missouri and northward to Minnesota, Ontario and 

 Quebec. 



The sketch was made from plants grown near Washington, Dis- 

 trict of Columbia.
