consfield's favorite flower, and has
been chosen by his followers, who
formed the Primrose league, as an
emblem, while in France, the violet,
because of its purple hue, was worn by
imperialists as an informal token of
their loyalty to the Bonapartes. When
the son Of the ex-Empress Eugene
was brought home to be buried after
being killed in the Zulu campaign, his
body was almost covered in violets.
Then, again. there are favorite ma.
tional emblems. There are the lilies
OF France. the thistle for Scotland. the
shamrock for Ireland, the leek for
Wales, and the rsaple leaf for Canada.
The United States has no national
flower and probably never will, owing
to Its wide range of climate, which
makes the selection of flower of uni
versal popularity almost impossible.

The determination Of the loyal
Ulster men to induce every man, won.
an and child to wear a flower as
token of their aversion to home rule
reminds one how often flowers have
been used az emblems.
Since the leaders of the Yorkist
and Lancastrian parties each plucked
a rose in the Temple gardens, the Lam
castrian a red and the Yorkist white,
this flower has been popular emblem.
Apart from the fact that red roses
are symbolical of love and white OF
purity, the English national emblem
is the rose; the Legitimist party OF
France formed the League Of the Rose
In imitation of England's Primrose
league, while owing to Gladstone's
fondness for white roses many liberals
once wished to make them an emblem
for their party. but the idea was not
adopted.
