There were rolls of golden butter, nut-brown eggs, snowy bouquets of broccoli, daffodils with the sun striking through their aery petals, masses of dark wallflower where a stray bee revelled. There was Abel's honey, with a large placard drawn by himself proclaiming in drunken capitals: ABEL WOODUS. BEE-MAN. COFFINS. HONEY. WREATHS.
Hammond had wished she could have sown seed to produce many different shades of brown and yellow Wallflowers. She might also have had a purple Wallflower, and even a Wallflower of so pale a yellow as to be almost white. If you and I were clever gardeners and had plenty of time and patience, we could get purple or nearly white wallflowers from these yellow-flowered plants upon the wall.
In Wagner's operas, which I don't understand, perhaps, but which I love with thrills in my spine and that's a kind of understanding whenever a character comes on the stage he or she always is followed by a certain strain of music music that expresses character, and seems even to describe a person. Well, wallflower perfume might be your leitmotif. Can't you hear perfume? I can.
MARSH MARIGOLD. This fine yellow flower is also made double by culture, and finds a place in the flower garden. CHEIRANTHUS fruticulosus. WALLFLOWER. Is a plant possessing great beauty, and very interesting on account of its fine scent. We have this plant also improved by culture, making many fine double varieties. It is a biennial, and easily raised from seeds, which should be sown in June.
If trimmed with ribbons, they must be changed often to freshen the gown, whose only beauty is its freshness. Deliver me from a soiled or stringy white party-dress! If it can be worn five times during the winter, the girl is either a careful dancer or else a wallflower.
'There is a double wallflower at No. 6, in the court, is there? said Nicholas. 'Yes, is there! replied Tim, 'and planted in a cracked jug, without a spout. There were hyacinths there, this last spring, blossoming, in but you'll laugh at that, of course. 'At what? 'At their blossoming in old blacking-bottles, said Tim. 'Not I, indeed, returned Nicholas.
She brought me, besides, a wallflower in full bloom; she herself had planted and reared it: it was something that belonged wholly to herself; for it was by her care, her perseverance, and her patience, that she had obtained it. The wallflower had grown in a common pot; but Paulette, who is a bandbox- maker, had put it into a case of varnished paper, ornamented with arabesques.
At some of the windows were plants a wallflower blooming in a pot a caged canary, who uttered an occasional warble, and several shaving mirrors caught the light and shone like stars. A cabinetmaker sang, accompanied by the regular whistling sounds of his plane, while from the locksmith's quarters came a clatter of hammers struck in cadence.
It would perhaps take us many years, but we should succeed at last. This is how we should set about it. Suppose that we wished to have a Wallflower nearly white. We should look carefully along the wall in spring, when the blossoms are out, until we found the very palest yellow blossom we could see.
Of course, when people see a wallflower rooted in the clefts of some old church tower, they don't jump at once to the inane conclusion that it is made of rock that it derives its nourishment direct from the solid limestone; nor when they observe a barnacle hanging by its sucker to a ship's hull, do they imagine it to draw up its food incontinently from the copper bottom.
