TEXT-BOOK OE FLOWERS 
Durability, Dog-wood. 
Deep rooted, the enduring Cornel stood. 
Though old, the soundest tree of all the wood. 
Deceitful Charms, Thom Apple 
Stramonium, which opens to the night 
Thy purple- bells, and dost the sense iuvite, 
T’ inhale thy poison scent; deceit and thee, 
Methinks, with justice might affianced be. 
Do me justice, Chestnut Tree, 
Uninviting may appear 
The green and prickly shrubs I bear; 
Yet, within, good nuts you’ll find: 
Keep this moral e’er in mind,— 
Juugc not by the outward view. 
Lest you justice fail to do. 
Early Youth, Primn 
Primrose, thou, as all aver. 
Art the springtime’s harbinger ; 
Freshness ana fragrance are, in soothj 
Thine, thou art like early youth. 
Egotism, Narcissus. 
Fair egotist, thou bendest o’er the stream, 
As thou wouldst there thy mirrored self caress 
Thou art like one lost wholly in a dream 
Of beauty, and of speechless happiness.
