O worship the Lord in the beauty of

Trembie before Him, ail the earth."

Colonial gardens are beaiutiful in
localities where the architectural
lines of the buildings fit into the
gardens. Many gardens have many
of the plants that the colonists
brought with them to America
along with their household belong
ings.
The colonists didn’t just bring
necessary fruits aiid vegetable
seeds that were edible, but they
included ornamental seeds and cut
tings. John Joselyn visited Ameri
ca in 1638 and found many Euro

Some of the trees found in this
country during the age of Colonial
America are: American linden(Til-
ie Americana); the chaste tree
(vitex agnus-castus), blooms in June
and July; cherry laurel (laurocera-

DAFFODILS
I wandered lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o’er vales
and hills, '
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host of golden daffodils
Beside the lake) beneath the trees
Fluttering and dancing in the
breeze.
Continuous as the stars that shine
And twinkle on the milky way.

They stretched in never-ending
line
Along the margin of the bay:
Ten thousand saw I, at a glance.
Tossing their heads in sprightly
dance.
The waves beside them danced, but
they
Outdid the sparkling waves in
glee;
A poet could not but be gay
In such a jocund company;
I gazed, and gazed, but little
thought
What wealth the show to me
had brought.
For oft, when on my couch I He,
In vacant or in pensive mood,
They flash upon that inward eye
Which is the bliss of solitude;
And then my heart with pleasure
fills.
And dances with the daffodils.
