critics.

The colors Of flowers and leaves
offer numbers Of interesting problems.
No one quite knows why the prevail
ing tint of early spring flowers Is
either white or yellow. Yellow, in
deed, says Parsons Weekly, holds
its own to some extent all through
the summer, but the typical color OF
summer bloom is pink, while as the
autumn advances richer crimsons and
all the rich, glowing hues OF dahlias
and chrysanthemums are seen.
Horticulturists have produced pop
pies Of pretty nearly every shade un.
der the sun, and with many other
flowers they e able to alter the
colors almost as they please. Yet the
blue rose, the black tulip and the
green carnation seem q far OF as
ever they were in spite Of constant
efforts to arrive at them. Neatly
three centuries ago Dutch gardeners
imagined themselves on the verge OF
inventing a black tulip.
The colors OF the blossoms OF fruit
trees are limited to white, pink, bright
scarlet and purple. The reason no
one knows. Nor Is It clear why near.
" all plants with purple blossoms
have poisonous properties. The dead
" night-shade is an instance which
will be familiar to all country read

be- careful about fixing all blame
where 1t belongs. Perhaps tomato

have been colored to q point deeper
than any which nature ever attempted
But whose the fault? Who demanded
that these preserved things should
please the eye first? Women know,
ct least they all oughtto know. that
