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.
