How the Carnation Insures Variation—I 
This direct color photograph print, greatly enlarged, 
shows that the carnation has perfected a device for insuring 
variation equally ingenious as the geranium’s. This photograph 
shows the pistil, arising from _ the yellowish egg nest, 
closed and unreceptive at the time that the pollen, 
which may be seen on the two stamens at ils 
right, is ready for distribution.
