Variation in Seedlings.


The law Of variation operates in ev.
erything. In no one particular respect
do individuals resemble absolutely
their parents. Even in the time OF
towering there is variation. Some
individuals will bloom earlier and
some later than Others This has been
more particularly marked in the more
snowy lowered OF our ornamental
trees. In the Koelreuteria this par.
ticular variation Is striking In 100
trees, all raised from the same pack
age OF seeds. there will be as much as
three weeks Of difference In the time
OF towering. Possibly the sexual vari
alton may have something to do with
the difference In the Towering time as
certainly 1t has to do with the showi-
ness OF the blossoms. AS 1t IL the case
with so many American and Japanese
trees. there Is II great tendency 20 a
division OF sexes. Some Koelreuterla
trees are wholly barren. while others
are abundantly productive. The bar.
rem trees have rather larger flowers.
and are more snowy In every respect
and. SO far as our somewhat limited
experience In this respect goes. are
among the first to flower. This little
difference In this respect has not been
noticed by cultivators as 1t deserves to
be.-Meehan's Monthly.

hearing a gentle footstep about the
