Obs. St. ParaxiJes was daughter of Pudens, a Roman senator. 

 All her great riches she employed in relieving the poor and the ne- 

 cessities of the church. She lived in the assiduous exercise of 

 prayer, watching, and fasting. She peacefully gave up her soul to 

 her Creator, and was buried near her sister on the Salanan road.

The plants of the later summer and early autumn now Legin to 

 blow, and to succeed gradually those of Midsummer. As Lammas 

 1'ide approaches the later gradually fade and go into seed ; while 

 China Asters, various sorts of Golden Rod, Sunflowers, Coscopses, 

 Marigolds, and other lateblowing syngenecious plants, by degrees 

 take their place. Some of the \Volf>banes still blow. Poppies re- 

 main more or less all the summer and autumn, and our gardens are 

 decorated with innumerable exotic curiosities, but the fields have lost 

 their goldi n yellow and bright blue, and buint or shorn Grass is 

 seen in the meadows. 



» Somp make this Linaria vnl^arif, but ne prefer the original generic 

 name. We have used both iiiditrerentiy.
