 deserving of being cultivated, as well as im- 

 itated in wax work. But alas ! I find I must 

 cut short the enthusiastic discourse of my 

 guide to our July Wild Flowers, in order not 

 to trespass to much, on the space allotted in 

 ijhis paper. I have only time to jot down 

 the names of other summer beauties, such as 

 our Yellow Canadian Lily — more gaudy even 

 than Solomon in all his glory — the Mullein, 

 the Ghost Flower, Indian Pipe, the wild As- 

 paragus, the Lysimachia Stricta, the wild 

 Chamomile, the Forget-me-not, the Arrow 

 Head, Blue Iris, white and yellow Water- 

 Lilies, Rudbeck's Sunflower, &c., &c., an end- 

 less array of sununer bloom and fragrance. 



Earnest votary of Flora, pray, follow Mr. - 

 Sturton's advice and devote a spare day or 

 more, in sultry July, to viewing our wild 

 flowers, in their native haunts, without for- 

 getting to call on that fascinating family, the . 

 Ferns, and you are sure to find them, as Miss 

 Maidenhaii* tells you : —
