 Let the plants of Chester which he loved and described, blossom forever above 
 his tomb."

 Flowers have an expression of countenance as much as men and animals. 
 Some seem to smile ; some have a sad expression ; some are pensive and dif- 
 fident ; others again are plain, honest and upright 
 
 HENRY WARD REECHER. 
 
 Ye wild flowers ! the gardens eclipse you 'tis true : 
 
 Yet, wildings of nature, I dote upon you, 
 
 For ye waft me to summers of old, 
 
 When the earth teemed around me with fairy delight, 
 
 And when daisies and buttercups gladdened my sight, 
 
 Like treasures of silver and gold. 
 
 THOMAS CAMPBELL. 
 
 JTo me the meanest flower that blows can give 
 Thoughts that do often lie too deep for tears. 
 
 WILLIAM WORDSWORTH. 
 
 And from his ashes may be made 
 The violet of his jiative land.

 INTRODUCTION. 
 
 " When we take a survey of mankind in general, and of the 
 several requisites by which life is rendered comfortable and desira- 
 ble, the productions of the Vegetable Kingdom are amongst the 
 foremost ; -as affording, the principal necessaries, conveniences, and 
 
 luxuries of life." 
 
 HUMPHRY MARSHALL. 
 
 No tree in all the grove but has its charms, 
 Though each its hue peculiar. 
 
 WILLIAM COVVPER. 
 
 Cedar, and pine, and fir, and branching palm, 
 A sylvan scene, and as the ranks ascend 
 Shade above shade, a woody theatre 
 Of stateliest view. 
 
 JOHN MILTON. 
 
 The woods appear 
 
 With crimson blotches deeply dashed and crossed, 
 Sign of the fatal pestilence of Frost. . 
 
 BAYARD TAYLOR. 
 
 For mine is the old belief 
 That midst your sweets and midst your bloom, 
 There's a soul in every leaf ! 
 
 BALLOU. 
 
 For the tree of the field is man's life. Deuteronomy xvi : 19. 
 
 Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow ; they toil not, neither do they 
 spin ; and yet I say unto you, that even Solomon in all his glory was not ar- 
 rayed like one of these. Matthew vi : 29, jo.
 
 Flowers are words 
 Which even a babe may understand. 
 
 A wilderness of sweets.

 There's rosemary, that's for remembrance ; 
 And there's pansies, that's for thought. 
 
 HAMLET. 
 
 It never rains roses ; when we want 
 
 To have more roses we must plant more trees. GEORGE ELIOT.
