THE LANGUAGE 
OF FLOWERS. 
BY UNCLE CHARLIE. 
This elegant book, during the past year, has found 
many admirers, and is now sent out in its second 
edition, enlarged and improved. The Poetical Se¬ 
lections are from the best authors, and the section 
devoted to Floral Conversation, among other good 
things, contains a most fascinating story. 
There is also a section devoted to the Sentiments 
of Flowers, which gives a list of all known Flowers 
and their meaning, and another to Floral Decora¬ 
tions, in which the subject is treated in reference to 
special occasions, such as Thanksgiving Day, Christ¬ 
mas. Easter, Decoration Day, Birthday celebrations, 
Weddings, Funeral ceremonies, the Church, etc.; 
there is also a chapter on Cemetery Decorations, and 
others on preparing skeleton leaves, drying flowers 
with their natural colors, autumn leaves, sea 
mosses, etc. 
It is issued in two different styles to suit pur¬ 
chasers—in neat, enameled paper, at 25 cents per 
copy; for those wishing a handsome gilt-hook or 
table ornament, it is beautifully bound in extra 
cloth, and sold at 50 cents. Will be sent by mail, 
postpaid, on receipt of price. Address,
