THE 
CALENDAR OF FLOWERS. 
The Roman Catholic Monks, or the observers 
of the Roman Catholic ritual, have compiled a 
Catalogue of Flowers for every day in the year, 
and dedicated each flower to a particular saint, 
on account of its blooming about the time of that 
saint’s festival. These appropriations form a 
complete Calendar of the Flowers. 
The figures attached express the year in which 
the saint died. 
JANUARY. 
1. Laurustinus, Vibernum tinus. St. Faine, 
or Fanchea, an Irish saint of the sixth
