THE LANGUAGE OE FLOWERS. 
Beautiful language ! Love’s peculiar own, 
Not for the cold, the careless to impart 
By such sweet signs the silence of the heart. 
Pickersgill. 
Every flower represents a sentiment ; and a bpuquet, 
when offered to the object of affection, thus becomes the 
fanciful medium of conveying the most tender and un- 
utterable things. 
Acacia Rose. — Robinia hispida. — Friendship. 
If I do vow a friendship, I’ll perform it. — Shaks . 
Acacia, Yellow. — Virgllialutea. — Elegance. 
Trifles themselves are elegant in him. — Pope. 
Almond Flower. — Brabeium. — Perfidy. 
Stealing her soul with many vows of faith, and ne’er 
a true one. — Shaks.
