LONDON ; HOULSTON AND WBIGHT, 65, PATEENOSTEH BOW. PEEEACE. In presenting this edition of the Sentiment oe Flowers to the notice of the Public, it is only necessary to acknowledge the con¬ tinuance of that favour with which the work was received on its first appearance, and to point out some alterations and additions which have been made, with the view of rendering it still more worthy of support. One peculiarity by which this book is especially distinguished from all others which profess to treat of the Language of Flowers, is the fitness of the poetical illus¬ trations which are freely introduced through- vi PREFACE. out. It were easy to collect an abundance of poetry relating to the various flowers herein described, out of the wide range of native poets, but the careful choice of such parts only as should still more intimately associate the flower with the sentiment of which it has been made emblematical, was a task of no small labour, requiring much time and extensive reading. The execution of this part has, however, obtained the approval of the literary portion of the public press, and no doubt mainly contributed to win the favour of those who have read the book. In this edition a list is given of those poets whose writings have been searched for such illustrations. By enlarging the size of the page, consi¬ derable space has been gained, which is occupied with some additional articles ; and several others have been increased in length by such information as was thought would impart greater interest; a series of articles on emblematic colours is also appended; and PREFACE. vii the vocabulary of plants and their sentiments has been augmented nearly one-half. This edition is also rendered more valu¬ able and attractive by the introduction of eight coloured groups of flowers, by Mr. James Andrews, F.R.H.S., which will challenge comparison with the choicest flower-painting of modern times. In this volume there is placed within the reach of every admirer of Flora an account of about three hundred different flowers with their powers in language, illustrated by quotations from nearly a hundred poets, and in most cases the reason for their being made emblematic of a certain sentiment is stated. To acquire a knowledge of the principles on which the floral language is conducted, it is recommended that the Introduction be first carefully perused, and the ingenious will then be enabled to Gather a wreath in their garden bowers. And tell the wish of their heart in (lowers. Vlll PREFACE. It only remains to be added, that though this work is founded on the “ Langage des Fleurs” of a French author, yet it is indebted to it for little more than its elements; the plan being entirely changed, while an im¬ mense amount of new matter has been added, together with all the poetical quotations. The publishers hope that the superior style in which this work is now got up, the excellence of its Illustrations, and the very moderate price, will render the “ Sentiment or Flowers ” still more worthy of the favour with which it has been received.

Ob1 Flowers, so much has been said and sung, that it would seem almost impossible to write anything new. They have been called “ the joy of the shrubs which bear them; ”—“ the stars of the earth ; ” and the u alphabet of the angels ; ” and, indeed, as says Mr. Howitt, “of all the minor creations of God, they seem to be most completely the effusions of His love of beauty, grace, and joy. Beauty and fragrance are poured abroad over the earth in blos¬ soms of endless varieties, radiant evidences of the boundless benevolence of the Deity. They are made so*ely to gladden the heart of man, for a light to his eyes, for a living inspiration of grace to his spirit, for a perpetual admiration. And accordingly they seize on our affections the first moment that we be¬ hold them. With what eagerness do very infants grasp at flowers. As they become older they would live for ever among them. They bound about in B 2 INTRODUCTION. the flowery meadows like young fawns ; they ga¬ ther all they come near ; they collect heaps ; they sit among them and sort them, and sing over them and caress them, till they perish in their grasp. This sweet May morning The children are pulling On every side, In a thousand valleys far and wide, Fresh flowers. Wordsworth. “ We see them coming wearily into the towns and villages w'ith their pinafores full, and with posies half as large as themselves. We trace them in shady lanes, in the grass of far-off fields, by the treasures they have gathered and have left behind, lured on by others still greater. “ As they grow up to maturity, they assume, in their eyes, new characters and beauties. Then they are strewn around them, the poetry of the earth. They become invested, by a multitude of associa¬ tions, with innumerable spells of powTer over the human heart; they are to us memorials of the joys, sorrows, hopes, and triumphs of our forefathers ; they are, to all nations, the emblems of youth in its love¬ liness and purity.” INTRODUCTION. 3 Flowers to the Fair! to you these flowers I bring, And strive to greet you with an earlier spring; Flowers sweet and gay, and delicate like you, Emblems of innocence and beauty too. With flowers the Graces hind their yellow hair, And flowery wreaths consenting lovers wear. Flowers, the sole luxury which Nature knew, In Eden’s pure and guiltless garden grew. MBS. BARBATJLD. Let Fancy lead us, with herfair imaginings, and it shall he in pleasant paths, and through flowery ways; Go, cull the golden fruits of truth ; Go, gather fancy’s brilliant flowers ; and for a brief space let us wander in an earthly Eden. We will rove, hand in hand, with the ever- youthful goddess of flowers ; and Zephyrus, her beloved, shall waft tributary honours from every clime. We will twine fair garlands for many a youthful brow; “we will not let a flower of the spring escape us;” but “crown ourselves with roses ere they be withered.” We may roam with Tasso through Syrian lands, u where soft perfumes diffuse from every flower ;” or the deserts of Arabia, where The acacia waves her yellow hair ; 4 INTRODUCTION.

To cite this journal article: Sheley, Nancy Strow (2007) ‘The “Language of Flowers” as Coded Subtext: Conflicted Messages of Domesticity in Mary Wilkins Freeman’s Short Fiction’, Working Papers on Design 2 Retrieved <date> from <http://www.herts.ac.uk/artdes1/research/papers/ wpdesign/wpdvol2/vol2.html> ISSN 1470-5516 The ‘Language of Flowers’ as Coded Subtext: Conflicted Messages of Domesticity in Mary Wilkins Freeman’s Short Fiction Nancy Strow Sheley, Ph.D. California State University, Long Beach Abstract This paper presents a unique, literary model for illustrating the symbiotic relationship of text, narrative and image. The examples in this paper are primarily drawn from a selection of popular short fiction by Mary Wilkins Freeman (1852-1930) to suggest that contemporary readers often overlook the nineteenth-century cultural phenomenon, the Language of Flowers. Further, this paper argues that knowledge of this socially constructed vocabulary, extensively detailed in floral dictionaries and other material culture in the nineteenth century, is necessary for fully enhanced readings of texts written by Freeman and other American writers of that time. In the latter half of the 1800s, the mere allusion to a blossom or plant in text could trigger a mental processing of flower to image to definition. Today, those readers who acknowledge the Language of Flowers and understand its use as a subtext can explore how botanical references, even in fiction, often support multiple interpretations of character, setting, plot, and theme. Those who do not understand the coded subtext of the Language of Flowers fail to analyze the literature to its fullest.

ABSTRACT Cleptoparasite bees lay their eggs inside nests constructed by other bee species and the larvae feed on pollen provided by the host, in this case, solitary bees. The cleptoparasite (adult and larvae) show many morphological and behavior adaptations to this life style. In this paper I present some data on the cleptoparasite bees whose hosts are bees specialized to collect floral oil. Key words: solitary bee, interspecific interaction, parasitic strategies, hospicidal larvae.

I have thoroughly sifted, condensed, and augmented the productions of my many predecessors, and have endeavoured to render the present volume in every re¬ spect worthy the attention of the countless votaries which this “ science of sweet things ” attracts ; and, although I dare not boast that I have exhausted the subject, I may certainly affirm that followers will find little left to glean in the paths that I have traversed. As I have made use of the numerous anecdotes, legends, and poetical allusions herein contained, so Preface. VI have I acknowledged the sources whence they came. It there¬ fore only remains for me to take leave of my readers, with the hope that they will pardon my having detained them so long over a work of this description , but “Unheeded flew the hours, For softly falls the foot of Time That only treads on flowers.” J.

    THE SITUATION OF GRAPEVINE YELLOWS AND CURRENT RESEARCH DIRECTIONS: DISTRIBUTION, DIVERSITY, VECTORS, DIFFUSION AND CONTROL E. Boudon-Padieu Biologie et écologie des phytoplasmes, UMR 1088 Plante Microbe Environnement, INRA – Université de Bourgogne, Domaine d’Epoisses, BP 86510 – 21065 Dijon Cedex France Grapevine yellows (GY) are known now for 50 years. After the first appearance of Flavescence dorée (FD) in West-South France in the 1950’s, similar diseases have been observed in vineyards of other regions or countries (22) in Europe, North-America, Asia Minor and Australia. Typical symptoms are leaf rolling and discoloration of veins and laminae, uneven or total lack of lignification of canes, flower abortion or berry withering. Eventually, severe decline and death occur with sensitive varieties or with particular GY diseases. All these diseases have been associated with phytoplasmas. Phytoplasmas, discovered in 1967, are wall-less intracellular bacterias restricted to phloem sieve tubes and transmitted only by vector insects in which they multiply and circulate. Recently, comparisons of conserved regions in their genomic DNA, have permitted to classify all known phytoplasmas into about 20 groups and subgroups within a monophyletic clade in the Class Mollicutes, closest to the Acholeplasma clade (57, 78). Numerous DNA probes have been designed that permit diagnosis and identification of phytoplasmas in plant tissues and in insects. This, together with transmission assays, has also permitted the recent identification of new phytoplasma vectors. Though Koch’s postulate cannot be fully satisfied with non-culturable pathogen agents, it is now considered that phytoplasmas are responsible for typical GY symptoms. These conclusions have been reached because of transmission experiments with natural vectors in the case of Flavescence dorée (FD) and Bois noir (BN), of the similarity of symptoms caused world wide by GY diseases on numerous grapevine cultivars and of consistent detection of phytoplasmas in affected grapevines and in infective insect vectors.

We regularly update the manual with new information, so, if you have a new technique, some additional ideas for sections, corrections or additions, we would like to hear from you. Please email those to Sam Droege ([email protected]). You can also email Sam if you are interested in joining the group’s discussion group on bee monitoring and identification. Many thanks to Dave and Janice Green, Tracy Zarrillo, and Liz Sellers for their many hours of editing this manual.
