Christmas holidays. How was this de- 

 mand to be mett The supply men at 

 once stepped into the breach by offering 

 an endless variety of baskets, pot covers, 

 ferneries, crepe paper, and what not, 

 generally of the cheerful Christinas color 

 always so popular. But this was not 

 enough. The leading plantsmen experi- 



mented with certain plants, those they 

 could make fit subject? for forcing into 

 bloom in the short, dark days of Decem- 

 ber, and the color of whose blooms was 

 sufficiently cheerful. These experiments 

 proved successful, and today we have 

 whole places largely devoted to flowering 

 plants for Christtmas. 



Bobert Craig was a pioneer in this in- 

 dustry, and the company that bears his 

 name has increased the number and qual- 

 ity of the plants flowering for Christ- 

 mas until it seems hard to see where 

 improvement will be made, as it surely 

 will. Their stock this year is as fine 

 as ever before, and in many cases finer, 

 and their knowledge of the demands of 

 the Christmas buyer enables them to pro- 

 duce what is wanted. A trip through 

 their houses showed a variety of stock 

 in splendid condition, carefully timed for 

 the holidays. There were azaleas, poin- 

 settias, short plants made up with aspar- 

 agus and Pteris Wilsoni, in pans of va- 

 rious sizes. Begonia Gloire de Lorraine, 

 both in soft pink and in the more showy 

 but less lasting bright pink, are a fea- 

 ture, and it is doubtful if they have ever 

 been better grown. Begonia Turnford 

 Hall is also here, for variety's sake, 

 though Mr. Craig says it is not the color 

 for Christmas. Cyclamens, from seed of 

 their own strain, are superb. 



Otaheite oranges, dwarf -shaped plants, 

 well filled with fruit, fill a couple of 

 houses. 



Among the foliage plants, Ficus pan- 

 durata stands out prominently. The 

 larger specimens in branched and single- 

 stemmed plants are magnificent, perfect 

 in every detail. A house of Dracaena ter- 

 minalis in medium sizes is richly col-
