Delightful "LITTLE COUSINS" of the Lilies 
(Natives of Oregon and California) 
In almost every state in the Union, you will find some of these flowers, grow¬ 
ing in the fields and pastures, along streams in the valley, or woodland, and 
sometimes on a steep hillside. But just as the native western lilies differ from 
the natives of the eastern states, so do many of these “cousins” differ from 
yours. I wish I could send you a colored picture of each one. They are lovely— 
and such a variety of colors.
