FORCED LILAC CHANGES COLOR. 



A correspondent of a European trade 

 paper writes : * ' The Lilac Lucy Baltet is 

 by no means new, having been in cultiva- 

 tion perhaps twenty-five years, but I was 

 astonished to see it in flower at Ghent 

 with blooms yellow cream color, as its 

 ordinary color is old rose or faded rose, 

 nearly copper of a delicate shade; we 

 have bloomed it here within the last iew 

 days. Upon consideration I am inclined 

 to think that it becomes yellow by forc- 

 ing, but would never be that color out- 

 side. The same thing has happened with 

 us with the variety Croncels, or Gloire de 

 Croncels, which is deep carmine and pur- 

 ple out of doors, but which when forced 

 produces flowers of a deeper yellow than 

 the plant of Lucy Baltet seen at Ghent. 

 These varieties, Croncels and Lucy Bal- 

 tet, have never been largely used for 

 forcing, otherwise these peculiarities 

 would have been remarked earlier; they 

 are both good forcers."
