Flower language; Flowers in literature. Qtalaolarta Ijgbn^a. Natural Ordeu: Scrofhulariacece—Figwort Family. "ALCEOLARIAS came originally from South America and New Zealand. There are two species of this plant, difl'ering ^entirely from each other, in regard to the foliage. One is herbaceous, with large,' oval, downy leaves, and grows about a foot and a half high; the other is a shrub with small, oval leaves resembling those of the sage, except that they are a purer green. The flowers are alike in shape, the herbaceous having rather the largest. They are like a pouch or bag of velvet, sometimes of a plain color, and again covered with dots; indeed they often remind one of the plump body of a beautiful spider, only they have not spina- rets and legs. The blossoms, which are superb in color, are often large enough to hold a teaspoonful of faujli^. /^F all the passions that possess mankind, ^ The love of novelty rules most the mind; In search of this, from realm to realm we roam; Our fleets come fraught with ev'rj folly home. —Foote, QTILL sighs the world for something new, For something new; Imploring me, imploring you Some will-o'-wisp to help pursue. Ah, hapless world! What will it do, Imploring me, imploring you. For something new? -Ral/,1, Hoyt. pRANGE is written on the tide. On the forest's leaf'v pride; On the streamlet, glancing bright. On the jewel'd crown of night; All where'er the eye can rest Show it legibly imprest. —Clinch. T HAVE lived in cities all my birth. Where all was noise, and life, and varying scene; Recurrent news which set all men agape. New faces, and new friends, and shows and revels, Mingling in constant action and quick, change. 66 —Boker. — t-^i^. Please note that these images are extracted f
