The fairest lilies are the first to fall,
The sweetest first to fade:
The fondest. dearest, best Of all,
At peaceful rest Is laid.

And all too soon was lost.

Where grow His fairest flowers,
We know that we shall meet again,
This fairest bloom Of ours.

In the ornamental garden, more
often it is the red-leafed variation
that is desirable; for example, the
purple-leafed beech. birch and maple
and, in these cases, the red-leafed
variety is used as the top or bud va
riety and the ordinary green-leafed
