Download or read book Myths and Legends of Flowers Trees Fruits and Plants in All Ages and in All Climes written by Charles M. Skinner and published by Fredonia Books (NL). This book was released on 2002 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We sometimes hear that ours is a material, dull age, yet we perpetuate terms and usages which ally us to the childhood of the human race, and which stand for imagination and sheer loveliness. We still speak of laureled brows, palms of victory, the rose of beauty, the lily of purity, the oak of strength, willowy grace, fig-trees of shelter, and corn of abundance; we extend the olive-branch of peace, we put our legs under our host's mahogany, we indicate poison by nightshade and toadstools, and health by flowers and fruits.Though Bacchus is no longer with us, we emblemize him in our reference to the vine. Moreover, states and nations choose their flowers, and certain Scottish Highlanders still wear them as badges of their clans. The liking for these things, their service to the eye, antedates history, and although Shakespeare lived when there was no botany, and only an enjoyment of nature in place of the study of it, his chance mention of one hundred fifty trees and plants hints at the regard such matters enjoyed in those days.

Download or read book A Victorian Flower Dictionary written by Mandy Kirkby and published by Ballantine Books. This book was released on 2011-09-20 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “A flower is not a flower alone; a thousand thoughts invest it.” Daffodils signal new beginnings, daisies innocence. Lilacs mean the first emotions of love, periwinkles tender recollection. Early Victorians used flowers as a way to express their feelings—love or grief, jealousy or devotion. Now, modern-day romantics are enjoying a resurgence of this bygone custom, and this book will share the historical, literary, and cultural significance of flowers with a whole new generation. With lavish illustrations, a dual dictionary of flora and meanings, and suggestions for creating expressive arrangements, this keepsake is the perfect compendium for everyone who has ever given or received a bouquet.
Download or read book One Hundred Flowers written by Harry Haverstick and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-06-15 with total page 97 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from One Hundred Flowers: All the Old Favorites and the Best of the New In presenting this Book to the public I have tried to make the art of flower and plant growing as simple as possible, using the commonest terms in explanation and language that everyone can readily understand. I have chosen the flowers that are oldtime favorites, together with the best new ones, making a collection which I regard as the cream of decorative flowers and plants. The descriptions and cultural directions of the plants and flowers contained in this Book are the results of my own personal observation and experience. Flowers and plants have been my daily companions for many years, thus giving me opportunity to learn their wants and habits. I sincerely hope that this Book may be the means of cultivating a desire in everyone who has a love for plants and flowers to continue in the good work. Pretty home surroundings are an asset to the value of your property. Let a few people on your street or in your neighborhood plant up their places and most of the neighbors will soon follow suit. There is nothing more cheerful during the wintertime, when everything is frozen and bleak on the outside, than to come into your living room and find a nice lot of blooming plants at the windows or some graceful ferns or palms standing about the room. I hope that all who follow the directions in this Book for the different flowers they wish to grow may have abundant success.
