NEW FLORAL STAMP ISSUE ON FEBRUARY 3RD Two new postage stamps, honouring the official flowers of Nova Scotia and New Brunswick, will be issued by the Post Office Department February 3rd. The stamps are the fourth and fifth of a series sche- duled for issue between now and Canada's C enten- nial Year of 1967. The blue, pink and green stamp honouring Nova Scotia shows the Arms and the Floral Emblem of that Province, the trailing arbutus (Epigaea repens L.), more commonly known as the Mayflower. This flower was officially adopted by the Province in I90I, al- though as far back as 1825, it was used as a decorative motif on the front page of the "Nova Scotian" and on the buttons of the Nova Scotia Militia. The May- flower also appeared on a series of postage stamps issued by Nova Scotia during the period 185] to 1853. In 1936, the purple violet (viola cucullata) was officially adopted by New Brunswick as the floral emblem of that province. Instrumental in the choice of this flower as the official provincial emblem were the Women's Institute, groups of school. children and the Lieutenant-Governor, Colonel Murray MacLaren. The stamp is in red, purple and green. The two stamps are being printed by the intaglio process with complementary colour work by offset using hand engraved masters for the original plates. This combination of printing methods is comparatively new to Canadian postage stamps. It was used for the Peace stamp and the floral emblem stamps of Ontario and Quebec. The stamps are being engraved and printed by the Canadian Bank Note Company Limited of Ottawa based on drawings supplied by the Dominion Bureau of Statistics.
