Flowers That Harm the Sick. Botanists and otherB who have made a life study of flowers have recently discovered that the perfume ot blossoms blos-soms Is often increased by growing them under colored glass. They state also that some plants are fragrant only at night and others only in the hot sunshine; that the seasons affejt the odors, and that some perfumes powerfully power-fully affect the human organization, sometimes giving rise to serious nervous nerv-ous troubles. Flowers of delicate perfume per-fume quiet the nerves ot invalids, it la asserted, but the violet, lily of the valley and carnations are really harmful harm-ful to the sick.
