It is considered by many growers that seeds borne the least number of nodes from the root tend to produce dwarfer and earlier blooming plants, while the opposite is equally certain All plants vary, and often the seeds which will produce the most striking variations are the slower to _'( I null itp and weaker as seedlings, but any mistreat- \nung plants is apt to be against any desirable improvement. The double flowered and highly colored forms of our gar- den plants are generally the results not only of intercrossing of species or selection, or both, but of intense and perfect culture. A poor, starved plant may not retrograde itself, but it is apt to produce seed which wil' vary to suit its location. In propagating by division, the aim should be not only to secure vigorous plants but to select for increase such plants as appear to b
