THE SYMBOLISM OF FLOWERS.
Floral EmbIcms of Ancient Nations The
Plant symbols OF Modern Times


youths Companion
In all ages, and among almost e4ery
people, flowers have been adopted rs tym-
bols, types, and emblems of human com.
bination IA ection and loyalty. The
reader need scarcely be reminded of the
red and the white roses which were the
badges of the LanCastrian and York rivals
to the English throne.
But this symbolism OF flowers dates
back to periods far older than the time Of
the wars of the Roses. ] he ancient ma
tons had each its emblematlc flower The
special Tower of the Hindoos, for in
stance, has always been the marigold. The
Chinese display AS their national lower the
gorgeous chrysanthcmum.
The Assyrians have for ages proudly
worn the water.liy. Egyptians delight
most OF al in the heiotrOpe, though the
lapyrus leaf. used by the ancient Egyp-
tians in place of paper, may "a 50 be re.
garded in high sense as the symbolic
plant Of the land of the Nile.
7 he Greeks and iomans were in the
habit of distributing the flowers in their
luxurious gardens among their gods and
demi- gods Just as in yet remoter times
the sweet basil and the moon.1lower were
sacred TO Asatic dcities.
Ii the noman custom, to Juno was de.
voted the lily, to Venus the myrtle and
the rose, to Minerva the olive and the
violet; Diana had the dittany, eres the
poppy Mars the ash, Bacchus the grape
leaf, Hercules the poplar, and Jupiter,
naturally, the monarch of trees, the oak.
So, we may infer that among the 10
mans, the lily and the oak were the EN-.
,1lems of power; the myrtle and the rose
of love; the 6live and the violet of learn.

of festivty.

church have all their flower or plant en-
biemS; the principal of which are, the
holly for hristmas the palm for Palm
Sunday, and the amaranth for All Saints
day.
Monarchs and nations have often had
their S mbolic flowers. The thistle is the
emblem of Scotland, and the shamrock OF
Ireland. 7 he ileur- de lis is the badge of the
royal house of France, and the amaranth
of that of Sweden. The rose blooms for
