It must be admitted, however, that the best results can be obtained only at the expense of much care and culti- vation and selection, and specialists only can be ex- pected to reach the greatest degree of perfection. The strains degenerate very soon unless constant attention and care are bestowed on the plants. Contrast the flow- ers grown by Gassier and Bugnot themselves with the stra,ms sold nowadays generally under their names! The choicest flowers are removed so far from the type that they produce but little seed and that of short vitality. The seed has to be gathered by hand, and it is neces- sary to go over the seed-beds everv day. With the cheap and common strains less rnn-ful of seed-gather ing are used. At th,. t âf l,Miv,stiâi,- the plants are all pulled out iâ tlâ- sl,;âl,. f,.r the seed to slowly ripen, when tli. sc , .is ;ur ull . at once. In this country, with uioru exti-ciiies in temperature, more care must be exercised than in Europe in the se- lection of localities and exposure, and with the best of care Pansies will not last very long in bloom.
