Excerpt from Domestic Floriculture: Window-Gardening and Floral Decorations, Being Practical Directions for the Propagation, Culture, and Arrangement of Plants and Flowers as Domestic Ornaments
The love for beautiful flowers seems nearly uni versal. We lay flowers, autumnal leaves, and fruits on the simple altars of our little village churches here at home. The Hindoo strews the gorgeous flowers Of Amherstia nobilis, or those of the sacred Lotus, in his stately temples while the Mexicans gather the finest and rarest Of Orchids from the sheltered slopes of the towering Andes for their various religious rites and ceremonies, as celebrated on the altars of their fathers. All throughout the East, the same love pre vails for beautiful and sweet-scented flowers, either as religious ofl'erings or domestic ornaments.
