Frank Beech, Old Time Flor

Process After Erie n DIS
Tease Him.
SELLS 800 DOZEN
J. HI. Besselman Learns Se-
cret and Surprises Discov-
erer By Producing St. Pat
rick's Flower.

St Patrick should look with especial
favor upon Richmond, because it was
in this city that the secret Of making
green carnations was discovered.
twenty-five years or more ago,
Frank Beech, a wellknown florist at
that time, and later of the firm Of
Beech & Chessman. proposed to a
group of men in the furnace room of
his greenhouse that they discover
some means of making green carna-
tions. After a number of solutions
had been offered some seriously and
some as joke. Mr.. Beech hit upon
secret idea of using aniline dye.
j. H. Besselman, now one Of the
city's contractors, was posted to the
nearest drug store with instructions
not to open the note. which Mr.. Beech
had given him. But Mr.. Besselman' S
curiosity got the better Of him and he
discovered the secret. The next time
Mr.. Beech came into his workroom
he found group of men making green
carnations by the dozens.
The new fad made a hit at once.
and three hundred dozen green carna-
tons were sold the next ST. Patrick s
day.
So far as is known, this was the
flowers in the celebration of the birth
day anniversary Of the popular Irish
saint
The dipping method was not as sue
cessful as it should have been, be-
cause the dye rubbed off. and thus
spoiled the appearance of the blossom.
Other florists have set their wits to
work to discover the method now be-
ing used, which is to set the stems of
the plant in a specially prepared solu-
ton Through OsmOtic action this dye
ascends through the veins of the plant
and colors the petals very much after
the fashion Of the natural process.
Florists are very jealous of this secret
and refuse to divulge it to the public
In the same manner, blossoms may
be turned blue or yellow, but this is
seldom done, since the florists fee
it is a freakish thing that prostitutes
the uses of their flowers. They pre-
fer the natural co!ors, except on St
Patrick's day, when they are willing
to make some compromise on behalf
Of the season.
The fact that they sell three or four
thousand dyed carnations on St. Pat
rick's day also explains why they are
willing to go nature one better by
turning out green goods.

ORCHESTRA TO GIVE
CONCERT ON FRIDAY
High School Organization
Hopes to Make Money for
Trip to Indianapolis.

To defray the expenses connected
with the trip to Indianapolis. where
they will play before the Northern
Indiana Teachers association, the
Richmond high school orchestra will
give a concert in the auditorium OF
the school on Friday of this week.
A few weeks ago Prof. Sloane. the
director, received an invitation to ap-
pear with the orchestra on April 2
bur as the association does not pay
the expense of persons on the pro
gram and because the trip means a
great deal to the school, it was de-
cided to give a public concert.
Many classical numbers will be
played, including several selections
from the greatest operas. The mum
Der Of rehearsals for the event prob
ably will be increased, as Sloane
wishes the orchestra to appear to the
best advantage.
AS the expense will total approx
mately $3.50, six hundred and fifty
tickets at twenty-five cents will be
sold for the Friday concert.
