LANGUAGE OF FLOWERS. 
Thankfulness, Agrimony. This is a pretty cam¬ 
panula, whose flowers, of the most delicate lilac 
colour, hang from the stalk like bells. The French 
. call it Religieuse des Champs, “JNun of the 
Fields,” a name, probably given out of gratitude 
to this pretty, salutary, and useful campanula, in 
memory of some kind, tender, and compassionate 
nurse. 
Think of me, Heart’s-ease. Page 56. 
Ties, Tendrils of climbing plants, which entwine 
and bind fast every thing they come near. 
Time, White Poplar. The White Poplar raises its 
lofty head on a straight trunk, covered with silvery 
bark, to the height of ninety feet or more. The 
ancients consecrated it to Time, because the leaves 
of this handsome tree are in constant motion, and, 
being dark on one side and white on the other, 
they indicate the alternation of day and night. 
Timidity, Marvel of Peru. Page 219. 
Tranquillity, Stonecrop. The ancients regarded 
Stonecrop as a cure for hydrophobia; it is still 
sometimes resorted to in that dreadful malady. 
Treachery, Bilberry, or Whortleberry. CEnomalis, 
father of the beautiful Hippodamia, chose for his 
attendant the young Myrtillus, son of Mercury.
