FLOWERS OF OUR STATES, 



The discussion anent our national 

 flower is still an open one, some eon- 

 tending for the violet, some for the golden 

 rod. JIany states, however, have adopted 

 special Howers for their own, as follows: 



California, Calif, 

 columbiiir: ll.lm 

 Idaho, sMiii . Ill 

 rose; I^lain. i i 



igan, api.],' i.!

 violet; Cl.ili. -i jn lil i ; 

 clover; Wa-hinui-n. i IumI 

 bama, golden rod: \Ve<t \'irginia, in- 

 clines to the rhododendron. 



In other states the sentim'ent appears 

 to be favorable to flowers as follows: 

 Illinois, rose, violet and golden rod, in 

 the order named; Massachusetts, colum- 

 bine; Ohio, golden rod; Tennessee, golden 

 rod. Michigan adopted the apple blos- 

 som by vote of the legislature. New 

 York, in addition to choosing the rose 

 as the state flower, has selected the maple 

 as the state tree. 



No final steps have yet been taken for 

 the adoption of a national flower. An 

 effort was made in 1896 by the National 

 Floral Congi'css. called together by the 

 Governor of North Carolina, to agree 

 upon a flower, but as many states were 

 unrepresented nothing came of it. and it 

 is now suggested that another national 

 convention shall be called. Inasmuch as 

 many nations have floral 'emblems the 

 United States should have one, but even
