dance of grasslike, graceful 
foliage and funnel-shaped lily- 
like flowers of large size, borne

grown in any garden soil, 
while especially happy in 
loamy soil about a pond or a 
stream-side. Instead of bulbs 
they have thick, fleshy, fib- 
rous roots. Sit., sun or light 
shade, the latter preferable

many-flowered scapes bear small flowers in a panicled filmy mass of most delicate color- 
ing Very hardy and drought-resisting. There are no finer plants for the shaded rock- 
work, for shaded beds, or to blend with ferns and make a good ground covering. All are
