FLORAL EMBLEMS. 
JUNE. 
“ Child of the sun, refulgent summer comes. 
In pride of youth.” 
Thompson. 
-“ Now the air 
Is rich in fragrance ! fragrance exquisite 
As new mown hay !” 
Mrs. Robinson. 
A wreath of various grasses in flower, encom¬ 
passing a branch of strawberries, is presented 
as our emblem of the month of June. Pea- 
cham dressed June in a mantle of dark grass 
green; upon his head a garland of bents, 
king-cups, and maiden’s hair ; in his left hand 
an angle with a box of cantharides, in his 
right the sign of cancer, upon his arm a basket 
of the fruits of the season; it hath the name 
either a Junvenibus, as observed in May, or 
of Junius Brutus.
