White varieties of many species of blue-bells and gentians are found not rarely, white-flowering plants of heather, both of Erica Tetralix and Calluna vulgaris occur on European heaths; white flowers of Brunella vulgaris, Ononis repens, Thymus vulgaris and others may be seen in many localities in the habitats of the colored species.
Of two hundred seeds one became a blue atavist, or rather vicinist, while all others remained true to the white type. The same was observed in the white creeping thyme, or Thymus Serpyllum album, and the white self-heal, Brunella vulgaris alba, gave even so much as 28% seedlings with purple corollas out of some 400 specimens, after being cultivated in close proximity to its parent-species.

While both stood sorrowful and perplexed, the front door bell rang sharply.
"Olga, I do not in the least understand half you are saying." Olga's large white hand smoothed back the hair that clouded the girl's forehead, and she asked almost incredulously: "Don't you really know that the Sorceress of the Nile drifts hither in her gilded barge?
