"Who can see, or hear the name of the Daisy, the common Field Daisy, without a thousand pleasurable associations! It is connected with the sports of childhood and with the pleasures of youth. We walk abroad to seek it; yet it is very emblem of home. It is a favourite with man, woman, and child: it is the of flowers. Turn it all ways, and on every side you will find new beauty."
