MALLOWS. 
Lavatera. Class 16 . — Order 13 . 
This is a very delicate, but scentless garden flower. 
Flowers white or bright pink. 
Sweet Disposition. 
The friend we love is youthful and fair, 
And gentle and pure as the angels are; 
Sincerity dwells in her earnest eyes, 
And her soul is warm as the Southern skies! 
Oh, the friend we love is a friend indeed, 
She’s ever true in the hour of need! 
Mss. Scott.
