The Roman Catholics have compiled a complete list of flowers, one for every day in the year, in which each flower has been dedicated to a particular saint, usually for no better reason than because it bloomed about the date of the saint’s feast day. This Saints’ Floral Directory is to be found _in extenso_ in Hone’s ‘Every-day Book.’ In the Anglican church the principal Festivals or Red Letter Days have each their appropriate flowers assigned them, as will be seen from the following table:-- DATE. SAINT. APPROPRIATE FLOWER. Nov. 30. S. Andrew. S. Andrew’s Cross--_Ascyrum Crux Andreæ_. Dec. 21. S. Thomas. Sparrow Wort--_Erica passerina_. 25. Christmas. Holly--_Ilex bacciflora_. 26. S. Stephen.
