THE YOUNG FLORIST. 



M. Look, 'I have gathered twelve varieties 

 of the Heart's Ease, or Lady's Delight for 

 mother, and also some flowers of the Xavel 

 Wort ; what a neat little azure blue flower it 

 is, — what is its botanical name ? 

 * H. It is called Omphaloides verna, and is 

 very common in the cottage gardens in Eng- 

 land and would be here, if more generally 

 known. Here are some flowers of the Cory- 

 dalis to add to your nosegay, with its singular 

 shaped, pendulous pink flowers. This will be 

 in bloom a number of months. 



M. The Violets and Liverwort are be- 

 ginning to show their pretty flowers. They 

 are the emblems of humility, and overlooked 

 because they are to be seen in every pasture 

 and wood, but I like them none the less on 

 that .account. 



H. We will take up some more, when it 

 will not interfere with our studies. Do notice
