After which Claude, impelled by the exuberance of his passion, took to exaggerating the scientific principles whereby, from the three primitive colours, yellow, red, and blue, one derives the three secondary ones, orange, green, and violet, and, further, a whole series of complementary and similar hues, whose composites are obtained mathematically from one another.
When the caterpillars became moths, they made friends with the ever-increasing Oddities albinoes, mixed-leggers, single-eyed composites, faceless drones, halfqueens and laying sisters; and the ever-dwindling band of the old stock worked themselves bald and fray-winged to feed their queer charges.
But, after all, the tale must have proved readable as a story to account for the large number of editions which it has reached. Some readers have been curious about the locality the writer was thought to have in view. No particular place was intended. Some of the characters may have been thought to have been drawn from life; but the personages mentioned are mostly composites, like Mr.
Take it, then, if you will, as I do, merely for a change; at any rate, your manciple has furnished this buttery of yours with ample choice of viands; and omnivoracious as man may be gormandizing, with gusto, fat moths in Australia, cockchafers at Florence, frogs in France, and snails in Switzerland, equally as all less objectionable meats, drinks, fruits, roots, composites, and simples still, in reason, no one can be expected or expect himself to like every thing: have charity, for what suits not one man's taste may please the palate of another; so hear me complacently turn
An immense number of the very highest plants the aristocrats of the vegetable kingdom, such as the lordly composites, those ultimate products of plant evolution possess such floating feathery seeds; though here, again, the varieties of detail are too infinite for rapid or popular classification.
It is perfectly evident that this double marigold is now quite constant. Continuously varying about a fixed average it may live through centuries, but the mean and the limits will always remain the same, as in the case of the ever-sporting varieties. Throughout this lecture I have spoken of double flowers and double flower-heads of composites as of one single group.
It seems to me, therefore, that it is only on the composite flowers that the Meloe-larvæ await the Bees' arrival. In addition to this population encamped upon the heads of the composites and remaining motionless, as though it had achieved its object for the moment, I soon discovered yet another, far more numerous, whose anxious activity betrayed a fruitless search.
Many species of composites have been tried, and they are all constant. On the other hand rare sports of this kind have been observed by Murr and other authors. Many kinds of vegetables and of fruits give instances of stability. White strawberries, green grapes, white currants, crisped lettuce, crisped parsley and some other crisped forms may be cited.
In each case there was a leap, contrasting with the view which claims a very long succession of years for the development of every new character. Having discovered this first trace of doubling, it was to be expected that the new variety would be at once as pure and as rich as other double composites usually are.
First, of all the organs occurring in varying numbers, as for instance the ray-florets of composites, the rays of umbels, the blades of pinnate and palmate leaves, the numbers of veins, etc., are easily shown to comply with the same general rule.
