glass and building material were pur- 

 chased. 



When the extent of these building 

 operations is considered, it is surpris- 

 ing that all the extra space under glass 

 is eagerly awaited. This is the more 

 surprising when the excellence of the 

 business during the last six months is 

 considered — Norwood has turned out a 

 quantity of high-grade stock during 

 that time of which the Eobert Craig Co. 

 should be proud. Despite that fact, the 

 army of plants all over the place are 

 eagerly clamoring for larger pots and 

 for more room. The crotons, the cycla- 

 mens, the begonias, the dracsenas, the 

 poinsettias all want, or soon will want, 

 a chance to grow. It is an inspiring 

 sight. 



The crotbns are the feature of Nor- 

 wood. They present a magnificent pic- 

 ture of color in all the houses they oc- 

 cupy. Croton Eeedii, that handsome 

 and. rather diflScult variety, fills an en- 

 tire bench in ready-to-go-out size. 

 After this popular sort, most of the 

 leading varieties are own seedlings. 

 There is Norwood Beauty and Edna, a 

 superb orange dominated sort named 

 after Mr. Craig's daughter; Mrs. Al- 

 Iright, Mr. Battles and many more in 

 every size from the little chap to the 

 grand, pedestal-grown specimens made 

 «p in tubs. 



The cyclamens cover something like 

 an acre of bench room. The best of 

 them are believed to be a little ahead 

 of anything produced, which is saying

There are three points of especial in-

The poinsettias are coming with such 

 wonderful certainty and vigor that they 

 prove their propagation is a science. 

 The big blocks of poinsettias just rooted 

 in the sand, growing in 2-inch pots and 

 growing in 3-inch pots, show a total 

 absence of weaklings or loss by the 

 wayside. 



The rara avis of the place is Dieffen-
