The Horticulturist and journal of rural art and rural taste . foundIn almost every garden ground; Tis lowly, but tis sweet:And if its name express its power,A more invaluable flower Youll never, never meet. The Pansy was introduced into the floricultural world for special culture, in the year1812, by Lady Monck. Since then it has passed through many gradations of improvement,so that the contrast between the old sorts and the garden varieties of the present day ismost striking indeed ; one could hardly see any form of semblance or recognizance. It has been always a flower fondly loved, and our ancestors have bestowed upon it variousendearing names, such as Three Faces u?ider a Hood, Herb Tri?iity, Love in Idleiiess and KitRun About. Its most poetic and appropriate name is Hearfs Ease, for the sentiment ofwhich the above verse was written. Are not Pansies emblems meet for thought?The pure, the chequered—gay and deep by turns;A line for every mood the bright things wear,In their soft, velvety coats. Residence of c±. M. Minkle, Cincinnati, O. 335. Jtesidence of A. M. Jlinhle, Mt. Auburn, Cincinnati, Ohio.
