GENTILITY. 



And genteel Geranium, 

 With a leaf for all who come. 



Hunt, 



The characteristic of true gentility is the talent to 

 discern the feelings of those around us, and the tact 

 to please each one by appropriate attentions. As 

 tin- GeramwM offers so large a variety of species to 

 gratify every taste, it is appropriately called genteel. 

 I sliall give the interpretations which have been 

 affixed to a few of the species: the authority by 

 which these have been bestowed, must be in the 

 general application of the one quoted above.
