The Question Finally and satisfacroraiiy
Settled Both in IA Botanical ana in a
Colioquial sense.
The question has been raised, and it
is sufficiently important one at this
moment, whether the peach blossom is
flower.
OF course with the scientific botanist
the matter is quickly settled. He does
not care whether it has colored petals or
not. In his cold dispassionate Judgment
the sole inquiry is as to its possession of
the requisite organs. The petals may
be green leaves, but if they perform the
function in question that is all he asks,
and then he says they are flowers.
But colloquially speaking people don't
recognize green flowers. Still the peach
blossom has definite color with very
tipped. Yet, still more to satisfy the
more insistent demands of people who
in the common sense call for flower as
distinctiyely one as the rose, the carna-
ton or the dafftdil, most beautiful
sample of remarkable Towering peach
bloom was received by Samuel ii. Bay
nard on Friday from E. NJ. Flower Of
| Smyrna.
| II was sent for the purpose OF giving
substantial contradiction to the assertion
that the peach blossom is not fiowel
| even in the colloquial sense.
The specimen is rich deep wine red
double and triple petaled, with all til,
| features of gorgeous flower. 1t is two
or three times the ordinary peach bios
som, more like a large carnation thai
anything else. The common peacl
blossom is pale diminutive sickl.
looking object along side it. Besides IL i
