FLORAL EMBLEMS. 125 



DO NOT ABUSE. 



SAFFRON FLOWER. Crocus sativus. 



Can Timolus' head 



Vie with our saffron odours ?" 



Philips. 



Too liberal a use of this cordial and stimu- 

 lating flower, is said to destroy the reason, or 

 cause the death of those who indulge in it. 



" Some praise at morning, what they blame at night ; 

 But always think the last opinion right." 



Pope.
