TEXT-BOOK OF FLOW FITS. 
Restoration 
Persicaria 
Hard by the spot this lovely flowret grew. 
Where it did please God’s mercy to restore 
The light of His benignant face once more, 
While from the stranded ark came creatures two 
nnd two. 
Reward of Merit, 
Bay Wreath. 
“ Victorious Edward gave the vernal bough 
Of Britain’s Bay to bloom on Chaucer's brow. 
So Warton sings and like a green Bay-tree 
Poetic merit ever verdantly 
Lives to refresh the heart and memory. 
Reward of 
Virtue, 
Crown of 
Hoses. 
In Salency, with Roses crowded 
Is she who is most virtuous found: 
Beauty and fragrance here unite, 
/Mid virtue well may claim the right 
To win and wear these roses bright. 
Riches, 
Wheat. 
Lo, what a wreath of golden lustre fills 
The valleys standing thick with ripening corn 
Behold the man the fruitful land that tills; 
It is for him glad Plenty fills her horn. 
Royalty, 
Angrec. 
In th£ Molucca Isles a parasite. 
Which blooms alone in elevated spots, 
JM»d therefore, it is said, designed to be 
Kmtwiued only around royal brows.
