Color Test for Florists.

The counter of a florist’* shop was such an unusual place to find a basket of woolen threads that the curious customer was impelled to ask what business they had there. “They have just been used for training a young man’s sense of color,” Bald the florist. “He has been working in our greenhouses on Long.lsland He wants a position in the Broadway shop, but before he could be transferred he had to undergo the color test. Bvery man in a florist’s shop must have as keen a sense for the different colors as a ribbon or Bilk salesman. This man passed the examination all right, but lots of men who know a good deal about flowers fall down on the color test.”
