The four flowers shown above are seed- 
lings of the same variety. You will note 
all have tightly closed centers. This is a 
striking example of heredity. A small 
variety, by inbreeding, will produce large 
scedlings (in this instance Moeder Bal- 
lego). A large variety, such as Sancy, will 
produce small seedlings like the 
cactus varieties on the cover. (Photo by
