WE were surprised last week to see our place used by the LORD & BUM 

 every day with the houses in all details ever since their completion, q] 

 have in the houses erected for us by LORD & BURN HAM the very best] 

 and we cordially invite you to call any time, we are employing many new mett 

 on CROTONS, DRACAENAS, CYCLAMEN and FERNS; in fact we will have a 



LOOK US UP.

New Seedling Varieties. 



• Our new Seedling Crotons, some of which we 

 disseminated in June, 1911, are varieties that 

 should be in every grower's and private person's 

 collection. They are far superior to many of 

 the older varieties of Crotons and the types range 

 from narrow to very large leaf. We particularly 

 call your attention to our set of thirteen, named 

 after the "Thirteen Original States," which have 

 won highest honor wherever shown. 



4-inch pots, strong plants, $3 each, $30 per 

 doz., $200 per 100. 



6-incb and 7-incb pots, larger plants, $3.50, $4

Croton Leaves and Sprays. 



Cut Croton leaves and sprays have been supplied 

 by us in the past few years to some of the leading 

 retail florists, who have featured them in man- 

 tel, table and funeral work. They are also espe- 

 cially attractive to use with Chrysaivthemums. 

 Cut Crotons will last in a cool place from three 

 to four weeks. We can supply them every day 

 in the year, very highly colored sprays, at 25<?,' 

 35c and 60c. Cut leaves, $3 and $5 per 100. 



When yon have orders for funeral or table ' 

 work "out of the ordinary," order "Craig's Cui 

 Crotons." 



DRACAENAS

 tractive as the highly colored Dracaena. The 

 small and medium sizes caa be used to great ad- 

 vantage in making up the popular Christmas bas-
