. The language of flowers: or, Floral emblems of thoughts, feelings, and sentiments ... Flower language. GARDEN WALL-FLOWER. Greece, the Romans took up the taste for flowers, and their love of floral wreaths was so great that the use of certain flowers was prescribed for special purposes. These rulers of the then known world cultivated both violets and roses, and whole fields, covered with these flowers, soon encroached on the domain of Ceres. The valiant Gauls were long without the delicacies of life; their warlike hands disdaining even the use of the plough. With them, the garden was the territory of the mistress of the family, and contained nothing but aromatic plants and potherbs. In time their manners became softened, and Charlemagne, the terror of his foes and the father of his own people, was fond of flowers. He recom- mends the culture of the lily, the rose, and the wall-flower. Exotic flowers were not' introduced amongst us until the- thirteenth century. In the time of the Crusades, our warriors brought many new kinds from Egypt and Syria. The monks, at that time the only skilful cultivators of the soil, took care of them. They soon gave a pleasing charm to their quiet retreats ; thence they spread over our parterres, and became our chief festal decorations, and the luxury of our castles and halls. Still the rose remains the queen of our groves, and the lily the king of our vales. The rose does not last long, and the lily passes away almost as quickly. The Wall- flower, less graceful than the rose, less superb than the lily, has a more lasting beauty; a difference which Moir has noted : " Rich is the pink, the lily gay, the rose is Summer's guest ; Bland are thy charms when these decay—of flowers, first, last, and best! These may be gaudier in the bower, and statelier on the tree ; But Wall-flower, loved Wall-flower, thou art the flower for me ! " 94.
