Though the flowers look alike, this is not the same species as the meadow rose found along the borders of copses and streams. That makes a hand- some bush and is well worth planting near homes and school- houses. Nor is this species the same as the "prairie rose" native in the eastern part of the country and often cultivated. 39. Red Lily. — This is one of the hand- somest prairie flowers, and is well worth trans- ferring to our garden. It needs no description, as everybody knows a lily. Grows in fairly moist places. 40. Azure Larkspur : Carolina Larkspur. — The larkspurs of our gardens are familiar to most people, so that this wild species may be easily recognized. The name alludes to the spur which one of the petals bears and which contains the honey that attracts the insects needed for cross-fertilization. This species is almost white, tinged with purple, especially the spur at the base of the flower. The numerous flowers grow along the end of the unbranched stem. The leaves are few and deeply cut. This plant is said to be poisonous. 41. Golden Aster. — These showy flowers are hght golden-yellow and about as large as a dandelion, terminating the numerous branches, which lean upon the ground. The whole plant is rough and hairy. It is most frequent in dry, sandy soil. 42. Purple Coneflower. — In the "coneflowers " the center or disk is conical or rounded instead of flat as in the sunflowers.
