At the meeting of the Association of Nurserymen in Chicago, last July, one of our prominent horticulturists described leaf variegation as a disease.

But the originating of varieties in which the variegation did not assume this form, with other considerations, has done much to upset this theory.

But it's not all brain-spattered streets and country lanes: Hart painstakingly details these towns and rural communities in all their religious and class-bound variegation.

In the pelargonium, and in some other plants, variegation is generally accompanied by some degree of dwarfing, as is well exemplified in the "Dandy" pelargonium.
