knuwii by these names interchangeably. The beautii'ul 

 race of Horists^ pyrethrnms, that deserve a place of honour 

 in every garden, are often ranged under the larger genus 

 as '". ni.tcKiii, and the pretty pompom chrysanthemums are 

 liy the same licence known as "Chusan Daisies." With

■ I never .see a young hand hold 

 The starry bunch of white and gold, 

 But something "warm and fresh will start 

 About the region of my heart. 

 ]\Iy smile expires into a sigh ; 

 I feel a struggling in my eyes 

 "Twi.xt humid drop and sparkling ray, 

 Till rolling tears have won their way ; 

 For soul and brain will travel back. 



Through memory's chequered mazes. 

 To days when I but trod life's track 

 For buttercups and daisies. 



" There seems a bright and fairy spell 

 About their vei'y names to dwell ; 

 And though old time has marked my Lrow 

 With care and thought, I love them now. 

 Smile, if you i\'ill, but some heart-strings 

 Are closest linked to simplest things ; 

 And these wild flowers will hold mine fast, 

 Till love, and life, and all be past ; 

 And then the only v ish I have 



Is, that the one who raises 

 The turf-sod o'er me plant my grave 



With buttercups and daisies." 



We have some handsome wildings allied to the 

 garland daisy, as, for example, the great ox-eye daisy
