The Glycine is an elegant creeper. The Chinese have made it the emblem of a tender and delicate friendship. That it may thrive with success, this plant needs to be sup- ported, and sheltered under a wall with a south aspect. Its beautiful pale blue flowers, arranged in long pendulous branches like the laburnum and the acacia, bloom in succession during the summer; but it is in the month of April, especially, that they unfold themselves on all sides, and spread over the largest trees their perfumed wreaths. Then they cover our walls, they surround our windows, they form bowers, and fall down again like a shower of flowers from the roofs of our houses. They comply with all the caprices, and yield to all the demands, of those who cultivate them with care and attention. We see that this plant is yielding, agreeable, and gentle, like friendship; and to preserve it, what does it require.' That which the heart lavishes on a friend,—tenderness and attention. GOAT'S RUE {Galega officinalis).—REASON.
