Erythronium (Trout Lily or Dog's Tooth Violet). Hardy woodland plants which 
merit a place in any garden. The flowers are like miniature lilies and are 
borne in clusters on 10 to 15 inch stems. The foliage of most of the species is 
richly mottled. Plant in the fall in shade or partial shade 2 to 3 inches deep 
and 4 to 5 inches apart. The bulbs should be well supplied with moisture through-
