COLUMBIA LILY 



Lilium columbianum Hanson 



The western lilies are always a joy to behold. Many of them rise 

 on tall stems above the surrounding vegetation, which forms a per- 

 fect background for their graceful beauty. The Columbia lily shown 

 in the illustration was obtained in Indian Henrys Garden in Mount 

 Rainier National Park, at an altitude of 1,000 feet, where the plants 

 are more delicate than those found at lower elevations. 



Columbia lily ranges from California to Idaho and British Columbia.
