FLORAL EMBLEMS. 
When we can no longer maintain folly, 
neglect is sure to approach us, who never 
fails to present her ungracious cup of bitters. 
SEPARATION. 
Ash-leaved Trumpet Power.— Bignonia radicans. 
“ Did you not hear 
A buzzing of a separation 
Between-and-” 
Shakspeare. 
Separations are eagerly announced by the 
trumpets of scandal and ill-nature, who by 
their discordant sounds, frequently prevent 
the possibility of a re-union. 
The gay corollas of this North American 
plant drop off, leaving the pistilum destitute 
of protection, and hence it is presumed the 
emblem was devised, for where attachment is 
so slight, separation becomes easy.
