COLORING FLOWERS. 



A subscriber sends us a clipping which 

 he says was cut from a Sunday school 

 paper in which some remarkable misin- 

 formation is given, of which^lhe follow- 

 ing is a sample: 



Suppose you had a white carnation and some 

 one would say he could make the plant bear 

 blue and green flowers. Suppose he would tell 

 you he could make the pale yellow daffodil, 

 scarlet., and the spotless lilies-ot-the-valley 



irtain dyes 

 arlsh their 

 e entirely c 



nged. 



The 



iter goes on to say that many 

 flowers can be "artificially colored by 

 thi,s process." That is probably where 

 the ] aragraphcr got mixed. He read 

 something about the artificial coloring 

 of natural Uowers by absorbing aniline 

 dyes when placed in them after being 

 cut, and elaborated the rest out of his 

 own mind. 



A number of artificially colored car- 

 nations once sent the writer were a re- 

 markable aggregation. Rings of several 

 difrercut colors appeared in each flower. 

 It was, of course, accomplished by the 

 absorption through the stem of various 

 dyes, but the process has no commercial 

 value and the flowers sent were merely 

 curiosities.
