Another picture shows three types of American seedlings grown by Edwin Lonsdale, (illus. later) who has raised a number of desirable seedlings not yet named. Craigii and Mrs. Craige Lippincott, last to be illustrated, are other very distinct and attractive American seedlings. Cro- ton seedlings are easily raised in this coun- try, our long warm summers and abund- ant sunlight giving us advantages over Europe in this particular. Another picture shows the "fountain" type, Superbum, Prince of Wales and Cronstadtii. There are a number of other distinct and attractive varieties in this type, all charming as pot plants. The varieties Fascination and Delicatis- sima illustrate another, the narrow leaved section, which are delightful as table plants, and this type is now largely used for this purpose in London and Paris. There is certainly an opening here for quantities of these narrow leaved varieties. They have, as yet, been grown only in very limited numbers in this country.
