XV hite Mullein 
Good Nature, 
Once *twas believed the Mullein did possess 
A power to mitigate and soothe all pain, 
Aud hence’twas made an emblemol good nature. 
Goodness, Mercury. 
Proud of their Henri Qnatre, the Frenchmen say 
“ Bonus Henrieus is the plant we prize ,” 
Because it bears a monarch's name, while they 
Wear it for good deeds and great memories. 
Gossip, Cobaea. 
Gadding about from place to place, 
With tendrils like a gossip’s tongue, 
And flower like a cup o’er a saucer swung, 
The gossip’s likeness in thee we trace. 
Grace, China Rose. 
Lovely is the China Rose, 
Gracefully, she blooms and grows. 
Grandeur, Beech Tree. 
The Beech, the spreading Beech, that towers so 
high. 
And looks so grand in fall-leaved majesty.

Gratitude, Beil Flower. 
The little White Campanula, that seems 
To rimr a tiny peel ol gratitude 
To every breeze that stirs its silver bells.
