JANUARY 17 



Year; for the cyclamen and Christmas rose may be 

 ranked among the flowers of December as well as of 

 January. 



And so the flowers are again coming to us in their 

 appointed courses. As yet there are but very few, but 

 every day will unfold some new treasure ; but few 

 though they are, they are very lovely, and almost 

 because they are so few they are very dear to us, and 

 we may well be thankful for them.
