Xerophyllum tenax (Pine Lily, Bear Grass, Squaw Grass, or Indian Basket Grass) 
A native of the Cascade and Rocky mountains. Grows into a graceful sym- 
metrical bunch in weeping form and might be described as a low fountain in 
grass, about 18 inches high and 2 to 3 feet across. Out of the center of this 
grassy bunch grow the tall stems 3 to 5 feet in height and from 1 to as many 
as 20 in number, crowned with the long creamy-white lily heads of match- 
less beauty. The leaves which are grass-like are evergreen, and unusual as 
it may seem, it is an evergreen belonging to the lily family. Mountain slopes 
and meadows, clad in fields of these lilies are a thrilling picture, which once 
seen will never be forgotten. The grass is said to have been used by the 
squaws in early days in weaving baskets. Perfectly hardy, rather slow grow- 
ing but long-lived. Should be planted in groups, and in the open where it 
is partially shaded during the day for best results. Will not bloom well if too 
shaded. The fine bunches of long, silky grass are very ornamental when the 
lily is not in bloom. A plant with a future, and rare in American gardens.
