THE FLOWER VASE. 
CORIANDER. 
Coriandrum. Class 5 - Order 2. 
This has a fragrant, spicy seed, formerly much esteemed 
by housewives and confectioners. 
Concealed Merit 
None know thy goodness. Like the fragrant mint 
Hid in the umbrage of some lowly glen, 
Thy virtues lie concealed; and only love 
In its deep research, can unlock the wealth 
Of thy benignant soul, and bring to light 
Its hidden jewels. The lone, suffering heart, 
The humble poor, the sorrowing and forlorn, 
These know thy worth. Oh, is not fame like this 
Beyond the praises of a heartless world ?
