OUR NATIONAL EMBLEM,

What plant of our splendid fiora
shall we choose for a national emblem
asks Edna Dean Iroctor in the
March LGdies' Home Journal, and her
answer Is an interesting one.
] should be one which is purely
American, which is widespread, dis.
tinct In character and rich in associa-
ton. The plant which fulfills these
conditions in the highest degree, and
from its importance transcends them
all, is our stately grain, the maize-the
corn: 1t is Indigenous to America, and
peculiar to it-never a kernel else
where in the world until carried from
here. 1t grows, in many varieties, from
Northern Canada to Southern Chilli.
With its commanding height, Its
graceful, curving leaves, it's crown OF
flowers, its silken tasseis and plant
husks-Nature's choicest wrappings
for her stGteliest grain-snd, above all,
for its golden ears, true cornucopias,
symbols of abundance and Joy, it is
distinguished for beauty and dignity
and individuality. 1t is associated
with all life on this continent. 1t was
the food, with game, of the primitive
peoples hereof the wandering tribes,
the Aztecs, the Incas-snd the object
of their prayers and thsnksgIvings in
songs and dances and rituals, as it is of
their descendants to-day. Among our
selves 1t is our most important grain
product, nearly equaling in value that
of all the other cereals together. Then
1t lends itself with such effect to deco
ration. Its leaves, its flowers. its tas-
sells, its ears, with their varied tints and
forms, make it unrivaled for artistic
use. And always it is so unique, so
Americana The eagle flies for other
lands, the maize is native only of our
own. Let the States choose each what
flower they will; but for National en-
blem let us have the only plant that is
American enough to symbolic us-the
maze, the corn.
The arbutus and the golden rod,
The heart of the North may chee-.
And the mountain laurel for Maryland
Its royal clusters rear,
An jasmine and magnolia
The crest of the South adorn.
But the wide Republics emblem
Is the bounteous golden Cornl

Al. RI. Correvon, Director of the
Jardin d'AcclImstatIon, Geneva, writes
to the Gardeners Chronicle that he
has received from the mountainous
regions of Servis and Montenegro sew
eral interesting plants which have not
been introduced INTO cultivation. One
OF them Is Chrysanthemum cinerarie-
folium, which has large and beautiful
flowers and long-stalKed leaves, double
lobed. Another is Aiyssum repens,
from Mount Durmitor, where it was
collected at an elevation of 5000 feet.
1t is dwarf-spreading species, with
yellow flowers, which surpass in beauty
those OF most other Alyssums. From
the Southern Caucasus, at an altitude
OF 1000 feet, comes a beautiful Fox
glove. Digitalis ciliats, which resem-
