PRIMROSE. VIOLET. 69 



hibited. It flowers in July and August, and bears 

 a great number of long, tubular, rose-coloured 

 blossoms. 



There are some other genera in the first order 

 of the fifth class, that you will be glad to hear of; 

 the Primrose, Prim'ula; Honeysuckle or Wood- 

 Jbine, Lonice'ra; Bindweed, Convol'vulus ; Peri- 

 winkle, Vin'ca ; Bell-flower, Campan'ula ; and the 

 Violet 3 Vi'ola. You will perhaps be surprised to 

 hear that the Auricula, Prim'ula Auric' ula, so often 

 cultivated in gardens, and a native of Switzerland, 

 belongs to the same genus as the Cowslip, Prim'ula 

 ve'ris, and the Primrose, Prim / ula vulga'ris, which 

 both grow wild in England, and appear in the 

 spring when the violets are in blow. 



EDWARD. 



Don't you love violets? they smell so sweet, and 

 grow in such pleasant shady places. 



MOTHER. 



There are five or six other native species, besides 

 your favourite, the sweet violet, which is called 

 Vi'ola odora'ta ; the Heart's-ease or Pansy, Vi'ola 

 tric'olor, is one of these, though its flower is so 

 different in appearance from that of the sweet- 

 scented species.
