INDEPENDENCE. Kan, June
10.-Perhaps one OF the most in
teresting things of this city is the
black lily plant OF Mrs. Oma Web
ster. 40l North Penn street.
The plant was first discovered
by Mrs. Webster in her garden at
Los Angeles several years ago. II
grew with bed OF white lilies
and has the appearance OF lily,
with redish black bloom. 1t
blooms the latter part of May. this
being the second year for 1t to
bloom,
Mrs. Webster has asked several
professors of botany what the
plant was but IT seems to be be-
yond their knowledge. One pro-
fessor in Los Angeles said there
used 10 be a plant of its sort that
grew in Asia, but he never knew
It to grow in this country. He
also stated that in that country
they were used as a sort of
weapon, owing TO their poison
and their terrible odor. which
caused death in a short time.
However. II is not believed that
this plant is poison.

eight years but this is the first
