A FLORAL QUESTION. Nobody ever yet
ssw blue dahlia, or blue rose, or a yellow
aster or yerbena. Will such things ever
be been? Some persons think so, ana for
eign florists are hard Mt wotk in hybri iiz-
ing. hoping to accomplish it, but their
suAeess is very doubtful. And for this
GOOD resoh, viz: Blue, red and yellow
ere the three primary colors, and the diff
forent hues found in the evarieties of any
species of flower, are prod1ced by crossing
DIVERS which have these different colors.
Thus, the original colors of the verbcna
in a wild state were red and blue; and by
crossing these we can get shades of red,
blue and purple, but MT ycllO0. The wild
dablias are red and yellow, and by cros-
sing them, we get shades of red, yellow
and orange, and white, but not bhte. So
sar as our observation extends, no genus
of any flower contains all the primary
colors; hence, If the above theory be cor
rect, none of the varieties can monopolize
all the shades of color. One will lack
red, another blue, and so on: hence the
necessity of com binng flowers of different
sorts, if we would get all shades of color.
Governor Banks position in connection
With the Illinois Central Railroad, for the
purpose of assuming which he has gone to
Chicago to reside, is that of resident dis
rector He represents the president and
directors, who are scattered over the coun-
try and Europe, and cannot attend to the
vast duties required of them from day to
day this additional Office is found to be
Necessary. He sits as grand supervisor Of
of the entire business Of the corporation,
which is divided into departments like
the government ola State, only more vast
and difficult than the government of most
Of our States. Ifaquestion arises which
he declines to take the responsibility Of
settling, h, can, if he chooses, submit it
20 the next regular meeting of the direc-
tors. Governor Banks salary is to be
$500 year; which is S4,500 more than
he received as Governor Of Massachu-
setts.
