FAMILIAR GARDEN FLOWERS. 



Here is a picture- of an old-fasliioned garden witii the 

 tansy in full glory in the midst thereof : — 



"And where the marjoram once, and sage, and rue. 

 And balm, and mint, with curl'd-leaf parsley grevr, 

 And douhlo marigolds, and silver thyme. 

 And pumpkins 'neath the window climb ; 

 And where I often, when a child, for hours 

 Tried through the pales to get the tempting flowerS; 

 As lady's laces, eve'rlasting peas, 

 True-love-lies-bleeding, with the hearts-at-ease, 

 And golden rods, and tansy running high. 

 That o'er the pale-tops smiled on passers-by. "
