. Our garden flowers; a popular study of their native lands, their life histories, and their structural affiliations. Flowers. LILY FAMILY side; you find them in the tangle with the milkweeds and the teasel; they border the meadows; they mass themselves in old dooryards; they are beautiful, wild, and free. Gardeners recom- mend them for planting among shrubbery, doubtless because of their ability to take care of themselves. The Lemon Lily, Hemerocallis fl&va, is structurally the same as Hemerocallis fulva, but more delicate, with nar- rower leaves and clear, pale-yellow, fragrant flowers.

The Lemon Lily, Hemerocallis fl&va, is structurally the same as Hemerocallis fulva, but more delicate, with nar- rower leaves and clear, pale-yellow, fragrant flowers. One finds it a most satisfactory garden plant, on account of its beauty, its early bloom, and its ability to live without coddling. The race is hardy, and though this one has not as yet become a wanderer like its tawny blood-brother, it may any day leap the garden wall and attain freedom. The trade offers variants of both forms in singles and in doubles, and the two are the oldest cultivated representatives of the Lemon Lily. Hemerocdllis TORCH LILY. KNIPHOFIA Kniphbfia aloldes.
