State FIoraIEmblem..

Iowa recently adopted the wild rose as it's floral emblem. New York, some time ago, adopted the cultivated rose. Michigan followed by adopting the apple blossom. Delaware selected the peach blossom, and Nebraska the golden-rod.
 The adoption of these emblems was doubtless prompted in each case solely by sentiment, but their use, neverthe- less, will tend to develop a feeling among the people closely akin to patriotism. While probably no other emblems are needed than the flags and seals already provided, the state flower will add another tie that binds, and will appeal to the hearts of those who are interested in the welfare of their state and nation.-Military Gazette, Chicago.
