CAUSES OF FLOWERS DOUBLING. 



The botanists find the doubling of 

 flowers a somewhat hard nut to crack. 

 There are several forms of doubling, 

 one of the most common being found in 

 the multiplication of petals. But when 

 the inducing causes of doubling are con- 

 sidered there is ample opportunity for 

 speculation. In a general manner, the 

 causes assigned by physiologists, or the 

 plans, proposed by cultivators are re- 

 ducible to three heads — namely, pleth- 

 ora, starvation, and sterility. As Dr. 

 Masters stated many years ago, these 

 three seem inconsistent one with the 

 other, but are not so much so as they 

 appear at first sight to be. The advo- 

 cates of the plethora theory have much 

 in their favor; for instance, ths greater 

 frequency of double flowers among cul- 

 tivated plants than among wild ones, 

 aays the Horticultural Trade Journal. 

 Dr. Secmaun brought out the facts of 

 the great preponderance of double flow- 

 ers in plants derived from the northern 

 hemisphere, when contrasted with those 

 from the southern. Cases have been 

 known of debility or starvation having 

 the effect of changing flowers to the 

 double form; but then it has had a 

 eontrary effect also, as a case has been 

 mentioned of a doubb-flowered thorn 

 producing single blossoms from this 

 cause. Mr. Darwin makes mention of a 

 state of things which brings about steril- 

 ity or imperfect formation of the 

 flower, leading to a consequent increase 

 of the pstaline element, either in the 

 form of an increased number of bracts, 

 petals, etc., or in the substitution of 

 petals for stamers and pistils. 



It is said that the way in which double 

 stocks are produced in Erfurt, Germany, 

 is by giving the plants a minimum sup- 

 ply of water. This much appears to be 

 certain that when once the disposition to 

 form double flowers is established from 

 any cause, that tendency becomes hered- 

 itary; there are races of stocks in which 



out of hundreds of plants scarcely one 

 double flowered form is met with; this 

 is particularly the case with the Giant 

 Brompton, and especially so in the case 

 of the White Giant; on the other hand, 

 where the tendency is se^ up, single 

 flowers become the exception.
