POUTIIY OK FLOWERS. 203 
ROSE, FULL MOSS. 
Rosa muscosa. 
Flowers bright crimson—very fragrant. Sometimes 
the blossoms are white or pink. Flowers at top of 
the branch large, double. Native of South of 
Europe. 
SUPERIOR MERIT. 
I never saw a form before 
Of such unrivalled loveliness, 
Nor one who was of earth who wore 
The look of heaven upon her face. 
£ never knew a heart so kind, 
Such tears for others’ misery flow, 
Nor saw a hand so gladly bind 
The crushed and bleeding heart of woe. 
Her spirit was from sin so free, 
Such gladness round her path she shed, 
That all who knew her purity 
Poured blessings on her bright young head. 
In this cold world I never found 
But one to whom my heart was dear; 
But thousand cords of love had bound 
Her being to this changeful sphere. 
Phcebe Carey.
