PREFACE. 
O0R Florae Hand-Book for 1835 has been 
received with unexpected favor. We now pre¬ 
sent a revised and much improved edition for 
1800. In its preparation the best authorities 
have been consulted. The vocabulary of the 
Language of Flowers has been much, enlarged, 
and all that care can do has been done to render 
it in every respect correct. 
Flowers, from the earliest ages, have been as¬ 
sociated with the tender sentiments of the heart, 
and thus have often been the means of telling the 
tale which words dare not speak. They too have 
been a source of poetic inspiration, and poesy of 
all ages has found images of joy and beauty 
“ In the bright consummate flower.” 
Hence we offer no apology for inserting 
throughout this little book a few gems of song, 
which we have culled to please and instruct our 
readers. 
“ Flowers are the brightest things which earth 
On her broad bosom loves to cherish; 
Gay they appear as children’s mirth, 
Like fading dreams of hope they perish. 
By them the lover tells his tale; 
They can his hopes, his fears express; 
The maid, when looks or words would fall, 
Can thus a kind return confess. 
Then, lady, let the wreath we bring 
For thee a wreath of beauty twine, 
And as the blossoms deck the spring, 
So every tender wish be thine.”
