A collection from Mr. John F. Clark reminds us that though we see large and showy pansies everywhere, not near as much beauty has been evolved from them as they are capable of affording. Some of these pansies are so round, that when laid on a dollar none of the silver is perceptible. And they are as flat as the silver dollar, and this we think gives a charm to a pansy, though there are times when a crumpled flower may have a style of beauty to captivate some tastes. Another feature that gives a charm to a pansy, and which some of these possessed, is a thick, leathery texture. They might be exposed to the wind without dread lest they blow to pieces. Some of these had these good points. In the early days of pansy improvements there were individuals with such good characters, selected, named, and propagated by cuttings, just as Fuchsias or Geraniums are now-propagated - but the ease with which fairly good kinds can be raised from seed has banished these all. Yet even seedlings may be so provided for that strains with these good qualities may be secured.
