There are about 25 kinds of bitter roots. Many of them are very ate tractive, yet some of them are not. T HAS been said that this flower | However, Tweedy’s bitter root is easily the most beautiful, not only because | it 4 larger than other bitter roots, | i but it has such handsome flowers. One is always delighted to come upon a full-grown Tweedy. It will reach 12 inches across the glossy green rosettes. Each flower is borne on a slender stem that is often 8 or 9 inches long. The exquisite blossom | is ‘more than an inch wide, and of & delicate, creamy, apricot color. The plant lives to a ripe old age, each year adding more and more lovely flowers to her credit. It is not unusual to find one with as many 75 blossoms on it, and on rare occasions | 100 have been counted. It seems almost incredible that a plant this sive, and putting forth so many flowers, can find enough nour- ishment so close to the surface of the soil. But as is the trait among the bitter roots, they have large, fieshy d roots that spread out or reach into the crevices of broken granite. The melting snows furnish them in early Spring with the only long drink they have had for months. They make excellent rock-garden flowers in their own climate, but it is a crime to tear them from their home grounds to place them where they will perish. In spite of the number of flowers, there are not many seeds. Flower lovers have tried to transplant the Tweedy, but they did not seem to be happy.

This bitter root was found by Frank Tweedy, who was at the time a mem- ber of the North Transcontinental Survey, which was being sponsored by the Northern Pacific Railway. Dr. Asa Gray, in naming it, gave to it the scientific name of Calan- drinia tweedyl. Later on botanists renamed it Lewisia tweedyi, so you may find it under the two names. The Eastern Spring beauty that so many love is the first cousin of the Tweedy. Many flower lovers of Wash- ington State have called it the rock lily.
