FLOWERS CoLoRED TO ORDER.
BY Very Simple Method Most Beau.
tifuI Effects Have Been Obtained.

We know that horticulturists create
almost at will wild flowers of varied
colors by practfcing forced culture, ar
tificial selection and hybridization, IN
this way obtaining a very extended
scale of colors. Still, in any cS@s, the
color Of the flower, although it is pos
sible to give birth to millions of varie-
ties, can only be modified within Ger
tain limits. With reference to this fact
the colors of flowers have been divided
into two great categories, the xanthic
series-yellow, yellowish green, orange,
red-and the cyanic SerieS-blue, indi-
go, violet. Never has a flower of the
first series passed into the second, nor
has the reverse taken place; never has
a gardener, no matter how clever he
may be, been able to obtain blue roses.
The florists, however, obtain this COL
or. The method of the florists is that
classic one which has been long en-
ployed on the case of violets, for exam
pie, making them green with ammonia
white with vapors of sulphuric acid, etc.
In this case, however, it is the coloring
matter of the flower itself which is
modified, although in the production OF
green carnations the method adopted
is that of artificially introducing color
ing matter into the tissues of the plant,
the cbloring matter then being incorpor-
ated into the petals.
When the first green carnations ap-
peared in Paris the city was seized with
establishment, and many persons will
ingly paid as much as 40 cents apiece
ties instituted an investigation and soon
discovered how the flowers were color
ed. 1t appeared that a young girl ac
cidentally poured into the water of a
vase containing white carnations color
ing matter with which she was painting
a rose leaf green. What was her as
constituent to see the carnations lose
their white color and assume a beauti-
full green tint; from this to the regular
manufacture of the flowers was only a
STEP
Ali plants, however, do not lend them
selves in an equal manner to these va
carries. The carnation, hyacinth, or
ange flower, gilly flower, iris, chrysan-
themum. and camelia are the most
easily colored, and in this respect it is
amusing to experiment with the many
hues that can be obtained. 1t is only
necessary to prepare a coloring solu-
ton, then cut the stem of the flower
and place it in the solution. The plant
draws up the water, and little by little
the coloring matter is distributed
throughout the plants tissues. A com
light green andiline dye is quickly trans
light green analine dye is quickly trans
formed, at the end of 20 minutes the
white parts being blue, the yellows
green, and the reds violet.-Cosmos.

Best Cough Medicine for Children

When you buy cough medicine for
small children you want one in which
you can place implicit confidence. You
want one that not only relieves but
cures. You want one that is unquestion-
ably harmless. You want one that is
pleasant to take. Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy meets all of these conditions.
There is nothing so good for the coughs
and colds incident to childhood. 1t is
also certain preventative and cure
for Group, and there is no danger what
ever from whooping cough when it is
given. 1t has been used in many cpl
denies of that disease with perfect sue
cess. Sold by Longwell Bros. m
