struck chappiea, useful for basket work 

 and for pans, to tlie tall, early-struck 

 plants with lar^e brat-ts of bright scar- 

 let. Many of them are made np with 

 asparagus, their closest friend. 



The croton gives a variety and rich- 

 ness of color for Christmas work that 

 is afforded by no other foliage plant. 

 The croton that combines red witli the 

 other colors is most highly prized. Nor- 

 wood Beauty is one of the most charm- 

 ing crotons imaginable when well col- 

 ored, combining grHce with color of 

 rich profusion. There are crotons of 

 every age and size. 



Perhaps the most striking are the 

 large combinations. They arc made up 

 with a view to color harmony and are 

 wonderfully decorative. Fancy a large 

 tub comj)letely filled with crotons that 

 stand several feet high, forming a mass 

 of rich, Vtright color and graceful wav- 

 ing lea\es. You see such a sight at 

 Xorwood, where rows of pe<lestals are 

 ^ped by these splendid croton bushes, 

 suggestive of tropical growth. 



The draca-nii vies with the croton as 

 a Christmas foliage plant. Perhaps the 

 draca-na is a quieter rival; you may 

 think so until you see those wonder- 

 fully colored taMefuls of terminalis and 

 aniabilis. They are a revelation. When 

 you become enthusiastic over them you 

 will wonder why the draca'na is not 

 first, as you successively see Craigii and 

 Lord Wolseley and Mandaiana and the 

 peerless Massangeana, the greatest 

 specimen draca'na of them all. 



The impression left on the mental 

 horizon by the houses at Norwood is 

 that Christmas in many homes, both 

 far and near, will be ])rightened by 

 bits of cheering color, no matter how 

 dark and dreary and cold it may be 

 outside.
