to yellow and eventually dry up completely. In August shoots 
appear from the apparently dead plants, rise to the height of 
about 2 V 2 feet and break into clusters of rose-lilac lily-like flowers, 
each of which averages about 3 inches in length. Protected 
in winter with a light covering of salt hay or evergreen boughs, 
these plants increase in size and beauty each year. You will find 
them an unusual and beautiful addition to your garden. Each,
