Book excerpt: Excerpt from The American Botanist, Vol. 5: Devoted to Economic and Ecological Botany; July, 1903 Vervain and larkspur, monkshood and fox-gloves, are usually found together with lovage and spurge. Of roses, we need not speak; every Old garden is full Of them; red, white and yellow. Even those well beloved plants are subject to capricious mutations. What can surpass the Old familiar blush rose that used to grow by the arbor in our garden? We can see it after this lapse Of years, and it's pretty neighbor, the sweet-brier, with a breath like that Of a sleeping babe.
