EFFECT OF AMMONIA ON FLOWERS.
Professor Gabba has been examining
the effects of ammonia on the color of
flowers. It is we'll known that the
smoke of tobacco will, when applied
in sufficient quantity, change the tint
Of flowers, but Professor Gabba expert
ments by pouring a little ammonia
liquor into saucer and inverting a
funnel over it. Placing the flowers
in the tube Of the latter, he finds that
blue, violet and purple-colored bios
sons become of fine green, carmine
and crimson become black, white be-
come yellow. while parti-colored fow-
ers, such as red and white, are changed
to green and yellow. If the flowers
are immersed in water, the natural
color will return in a few hours. Pro-
fessor Gabba also found that asters
acquire pleasing color when sub
mitted to the fumes of ammonia.
