The Roman Catholic monks, or the observers of the Roman Catholic ritual, have compiled a Catalogue of Flowers for every day in the year, and dedicated each flower to a particular saint, on account of its blooming about the time of that saint’s festival. These appropriations form a complete Calendar of the Flowers. The figures attached express the year in which the saint died. JANUARY. 1. Laurustinus, _Vibernum tinus_. St. Faine, or Fanchea, an Irish saint of the sixth century. 2. Groundsel, _Senecio vulgaris_. St. Macarius of Alexandria, 394. 3. Iris, Persian, _Iris Persica_. St. Genevieve, patroness of Paris, 422. 4. Hazel, _Corylus avellana_. St. Titus, disciple of St. Paul. 5. Hellebore, _Helleborus fœtidus_. St. Simeon Stylites of Rome.
