FAMILIAR GARDEN FLOWERS. 



happy results : Chimonanthus fragrans, a very fine subject 

 when in a snug 1 , sheltered nook ; Chimonanilms grandiflorus 

 and C. luteus ; Forsytkia viridissima, Garrya elliptica, and 

 Cydonia Japonica. The first and the last of the list are 

 the best, and any good soil will suit them. 



" When thy heart, in its pride, would stray 



From the first pure loves of its youth away 



When the sullying breath of the world would come 



O'er the flowers it brought from its childhood's home, 



Think thou again of the woody glade, 



And the sound by the rustling ivy made 



Think of the tree at thy father's door, 



And the kindly spell shall have power once more." 



HEMANS.
