FLORAL EMBLEMS. 27 



LEAFLET NUMBERS. 



THE numerical emblems are simply distin- 

 guished by the leaflets as far as eleven. From 

 eleven to twenty they are denoted by berries 

 added to leaf ten, as in the examples 12 and 

 14. Twenty to a hundred is represented by 

 joining 1 a compound leaf to the tenth, as in 

 the example 20, which expresses two tens, and 

 the odd number is formed by the addition of 

 berries, as in the representation of 35, where 

 three tens and five berries denote the number, 

 and 71 is pictured in the same manner. 



A hundred is represented on the same 

 principal by ten tens, and which may be in- 

 creased by a third leaflet and a branch of 

 berries as far as 999, as the example 508. A 

 thousand is distinguished by a frond of fern
