Although the shamrock has been Ireland's accepted emblem for many centuries the custom of wearing it on •it. I'atrick’s day has only become universal within the last few years. It is curious, but certainly irue, that the present popularity of the custom, ?veii among nationalists, is largely due to her Irish soldiers. The increasfd demand for shamrock m Ireland at this time oi the >eai ms been accompanied by a hardly less notable increase in the demand from • Irtat Britain and the colonies, and from ihe United States.
