to unpleasant consequences

Flowers i'm the Dark.

Ia Sachs Textbook Of Botany il
is stated that no effect is produced upon
the color Of flowers by growing them
in the dark liealthy plants. having
tuberous or bulbous roots with which
the experiment was tried), developed
flowers Of the usual form and tint,
although both hewers and leaves were
unfoIded in a dark room. Plants
which had leaves exposed to the sun
light, but their flower-beds covered
with opaque cases, perfected the. pro-
cess Of poisoning without any or with
very little alteration in the normal
shapes and tints. In 1878, Mr.. H. G.
Sorly conducted number of expert
Gents testing the matter and found
some considerable changes in color
among his results. The hues of the
Orange Lily (Litum drantidcup)
remained unaltered, but that Of the
Elysina,tn Perotskianum was
changed by moderate degree OF dark.
ness The Orange Marigold was also
greatly changed. Sorly inclined to re-
fer this difference in results to the fact
that the orange tint in plants is due
to entirely different substances, which
are not equally stable. Ashenasy per-
formed similar experiments last sum-
mer, with results confirming those Of
Sorly, The conclusion is, that some
plnts need the light to perfect the coler
of their flowers, and others are quite
independent of it.
