FLOWERS OF VARYING COLOR 



IN this magazine for August 1918 there was printed a pre- 

 liminary hst with notes of flowers that vary in color. 

 Sometimes tlie variation occurs (ku^ing the period of blooming, 

 in other cases the plants regularly produce flowers of more 

 than one color. In response to the call for additional species 

 of this kind. Prof. J. C. Nelson sends the following list from 

 Oregon. In explanation of the descriptive terms Prof. Nel- 

 son says, "When I say, for example, 'white to pink' I mean 

 that there are all gradations between the two; if I say 'white 

 or pink,' I mean that no such gradations occur but that it is 

 frankly the one or the other. The one named lirst is the 

 predominating color :"
