Camassias. 
A class of hardy bulbous plants of sturdy growth, hardy in any climate, and 
succeeding best in moist clayey soils. Many long glossy leaves grow from the 
base, much as in the hyacinth, while the tall stout stems produce a very large 
number of handsome lily-like flowers in a long succession. 
The camassias are desirable for any ordinary garden, where they will establish 
themselves and thrive for years without furthur care. To those wishing plants 
to naturalize about ponds, in damp grassy spots, or by stream sides Camassias 
aie invaluable. They are quite able to maintain themselves among grasses and 
sedges and their line flowers are peculairly fitting to such surroundings.
