Dogtooth Violet 
This Dogtooth Violet or Adder Tongue 
in its pure white dress pleases every 
mountain climber. The nodding flowers 
look like fairy Easter bells. One stem 
may have as many as three blossoms. 
Some persons have reported even six. 
We gathered large bouquets of these 
on Mount Rainier at an elevation of six 
thousand feet. 
There, also, along streams we found 
its beautiful twin sister dressed in bright 
yellow. 
Their long slender leaves with the 
veins running parallel suggest at once 
the Lily. 
INIany Dogtooth Violets have spotted 
leaves but these have not. 
Mountain lovers now call this the Ava¬ 
lanche Lily. The picture on the cover 
shows it blooming in the snow. 
No. 30.
