THE YOUNG FLORIST. 



Kill Lamb 5 and would poison the sheep ; I pre- 

 vented him and told him we did not pasture our 

 sheep in the garden. 



M. And then there is my favorite, the Wild 

 Rose, so delicious and fragrant; the Rodora, 

 whose beautiful purple blossoms appear so early, 

 even before the leaf buds begin to unfold ; the 

 Azalea or Swamp Honeysuckle, whose flow- 

 ers perfume the air in June ; and the Black 

 Alder, with its fine scarlet berries, which so 

 enlivens the autumnal scenery. 



//. We will have a fine collection of Amer- 

 ican plants ; these we have named ; and many 

 others are among the most ornamental that can 

 be brought from any country ; we will at our 

 leisure search the woods, meadows and fields 

 for flowers and plants to decorate our little 

 patch, and although we can afford to buy but 

 a few plants, we will have a garden the gayest 

 of the gay.
