Show Sego Lily Now Blossoming in Rarest Beauty Utah's State Flower Bedecks Be-decks Hills and Adorns Desks at the Capitol. UTAH'S state flower, the sego lily, is radiant in its beauty just at this time. The pretty blossom, originating in a humble root which once served to appease the pioneers' pio-neers' hunger in the late forties and early fifties, is unashamed of its glory, to judge by the frequency with which it 'lifts its chaste colorings to the warmth of the sunu. On the hills behind and about the state capitol myriads of copies of what must at the creation time have been intended to typify grace and chastity revel in their own abundance. Each succeeding one seen seems to be more beautiful than the one just left behind, and one must be careful lest In seeking out the prettiest pret-tiest of them all he tread not upon and crush Its equally ravishing neighbor. Yesterday the women employed in the various offices wore the state flower they were everywhere, the desks of the gentler sex being abundantly decorated. Which is evidence that the women folk at the capitol are not unminded by those who regard them with quite as much rapture rap-ture as the girls do the pretty sego lily. |
