FLOWERS coLoRED TO ORDER.
BY Simple Method Beautiful Effects
Have Been Obtained.

We know that horticulturi>ts create al
most at will flowers of varied coiors by
practlctng forced culture artificial selcc-
tion and liberalization. in this way OBJ
timing very extended scale of colors.
Sui, in any case, the color OF the flower,
although Is is possible to give birth to
millions of varieties. can only be modi-
fed within certain limits. With refer
encc 10 this fact the colors OF flowers
have been divided into two great cate
CORES. the Nanthic series yellow, yellow
lsh green, orange, Ird-and the cyanic
sefes-blue, indigo and violet Never has
a flower of the first series re ssed into tho
second, nor has the reverse taken place
never has gardener. no matter how
clever he may be, been able to obtain
blue roses.
The florists, however. obtain this color
The method of the florists is that classic
one which has long been employ ed in the
case OF yloletS, for example. making Them
green with ammonia, white with Vap0rs
of sulphuric acid, etc In this case. how
ever It Is the Colorng matter Of the flow
er itself which is modified. although in
the production of green carnations the
method adopted is that of artiiically in
Producing coloring matter into the tissues
Of the plant, the coloring matter then be

When the first green carnations APP
pcared III Paris the city was seized with

pad as much as = francs apiece for the
t0WerS. The municipal authorities insti-
tuted an investigation and soon discov-
cred how the flowers were colored Ii

with which she was painting rose leaf

see the carnations lose their white color
and assume a beautiful green tint; from
this TO the regular manufacture OF the
flowers was only Il step.
All plants, however. do NOT lend them
