names arc much tho most significant, being gene.

ioVerAthe uoraing-glory, because it is the most
brilliant in tho morning, and the sun-iower, be-
salse it has a peculiar way Of turning towards the

gentleman, the convolyulus, which is certainly not
Hs agreeable a title as the other.
CAPACITY ron IMPROVEMENT.
Iii extraordinary what a change can be pro.
duccd by II mixture and association with othe.
flowers, and by a proper attention to the food OF the
plant according rs the earth is rich or poor,
clayoy or gravoliv, will the plant change its color,

its color as it changes its soil and by mixture
with other dahlias, by skiIful gr%aftings, the dahlia
becomes larger and moro double.
WILD OR DOMESTIC.
The wild run wild-nobody takes any care of
them the cultivated are watched, trained, and
guarded. | said nobody takes care of the wild
this ia wrong. The wild are taken care of; the
kind Being who is always looking after the poor,
the destitute, and the unprotected, takes care of
them. The truth is, he takes care of both with
out him they could come to nothing, either of
them. But the cultivated faro better they net
only have the protection Of Providence, but Of man
in the bargain.
VINO LIKE THEN.
The young girl is attracted by beauty. She is
enthusiastic at color, she shows them smiling her
love is not grounded upon any knowledge Of virtue
in the plant-her eye alone is consulted. Some
times she is most terribly deceived sho suffers
from bad association-she is poisoned-and she
learns a lesson rather too late. The old florist
takes delight in a flower. lie has deposited the
small seed he has watched it's first appearance in
the world-its first leaves, it has, perhaps, been
almost killed by the heat or the cold but, by good
management, he has preserved its life. 1t is q
monument Of his exertions he becomes an anna
teur, aud then 4 coRn0isSenr, and likes to see every
new variety.
VINO TAKES CARE OF THEM?
They are generally rough-louking old fellows,
perfectly unSulteu 10 the DeduIllul ODicCtS tlev are
connected with. But these objects thrive in their
greenhouses they seem to understand them thor
0ughly they know when they require watering,
and they know when they have enough. Every
plant looks as if it was thriving and getting on.
There are none of the miserable, sickly, hult-dead
things you iud in private collections, or in the col
lections Of thsoe who do not understand their man
agement. The florists are interested. There are
others who keep them, not Tor money, but for love
in the windows, right up against the glass, the
u'neS bnnutltuIIV CLAIR. 1nrtnrs knap than on1
keep them beautifully. | cannot say SO much for
them, when left to the guardianship of the young
and beautiful GeAe, she is apt to be n cruel guar
ian-one halF generally die in the winter through
neglect, frozen to death, or roasted in summer Dy
exposure to the sun. Now and then you may find
a judicious lady, but, take the sex in general, they
are pretty bad managers. There are good, how
ever, a good housekceper is often a good flower
keeper one who can make n pudding can often
make a soil. To make a pudding, she deposites IL
certain quantity OF flour, n certain quantity Of su-
gar, and judiciJusly sprinkles her spices to make
the soil, she mixes clay, and gravel, and manure,
and sprinkles carefully with charcoal. In this way
ulady sometimes succeeds beautifully whatever
she touches is sure to d. well success is sure to
follow. Success is apt to be called luck. 1t is no
such thing it comes from peculiar skill in the for
nation OF the earth and, moreover, in not expos
ing at wrong times to too much sun, and by risk
ing an exposure at a proper time--withdrawlng
from the rain at the right moment, and coming into
It when good will follow. All this requires good
judgment, which some ladies have.
WHERE THEY ARE FOUND.
! should like you to tell me where they are not.
Go where you please in the country, and you find
thcm-in the low grounds and in tie high. In the
low grounds, where the soil is richest, you will
usually find them tho most robust. In .he high
grounds they are apt to be smaller, and not SO
deep in their color. You will often find the same
flower in the high situations and the low usually
the high have their peculiar set, and the low theirs.
The wild althaa will not only refuse to grow ON
high grounds, unless it is peculiarly situated right
on the water; it cannot live away from the water.
There are some plants that will live anywhere, if
they are constantly watered the hydrangea, for
instance. There gre others which Iequire little
water, if any they are dry flowers; such are
many of the cactus tribe.
WHERE THEY co AFTER DEATH.
Some 90 to the most delightful resting-places-
the valleys of the blesscd-the bosom of the beau
tiful maiden. Others 60 into the interior of her
body, arranging difficulties there, bringing relief
to its distresses: the peoples are among this class.
The last 60 when they are withered rnd dried
the first, which the youthful beauty takes for her
bouquet, have all the brIlliancy and complexian of
life, and the shape Of life also. They are re-
ceived so soon after death they do not appear dead
decomposition and decay have not begun the
moment they do begin, before they become ofens-
i've, they are judiciously abandoned. Often they
90 TO the disSectors. They are taken for the
promotion Of science they are carefully anat-
ounized-the different members examined by the
skilltul botanist; he gives you their anatomy.
Sometimes they go into repositories; they are
s~killfully dried, preserving much of their form and
color, all the moisture being taken from their sys-
tens by laying between two sheets OF blotting
paper.
/. THEIR AGES.
Some will last q year, and are called ANIMALS
others last longer. Small specimens Of vegeta-
ton, however, have not the length Of life Of large
trees; they resemble birds-the wren will not live
rs log as the eagle.
