AND FLOWERS OF POETRY. 235 
YOUR BLUSH HAS WON ME. 
AZALEA. 
This is an exceedingly beautiful shrub with rose-coloured 
flowers found in the woods of North America. 
I know a cheek whose blushes, 
As they trembling come and go, 
I could gaze upon for ever, 
If it did not pain thee so. 
f. s. o. 
Playful blushes, that seem naught 
But luminous escapes of thought. 
Moore. 
YOUR IMAGE IS ENGRAVEN ON MY 
HEART. 
SPINDLE-TREE. 
This shrub bears the name of spindle because that article is 
most commonly made of its wood ; it is also used in the prep¬ 
aration of crayons. The sculptor and the turner value it high¬ 
ly. If the wood be useful to the arts, the shrub has claims to 
the esteem of the cultivator. The hedges which they orna¬ 
ment with rosy fruit have a very pretty effect in the autumn.
