Mention The Review when tou write. 



variety, Edwin Lonsdale, is well known 

 to Eeview readers on account of its 

 beautiful red coloring, so much prized at 

 the Christmas holidays. The other vari- 

 ety, Robert Craig, was only named last 

 faJl. It resembles the well-known Le 

 Compte; yellow in center of leaf, with 

 irregular markings on a green field on 

 the outside. It holds its color better, it 

 is said, than the older variety, grows 

 more freely and propagates more readily. 

 Mr. Lonsdale is enthusiastic about both 

 varieties, believing them worthy addi- 

 tions to the leading varieties of crotons. 



The crotons are featured this year 

 more extensively than ever by the Craig 

 Co. Robert A. Craig pointed out a hand- 

 some house, 200 feet long, I think, en- 

 tirely filled with crotons, which he said 

 was the quantity they had in excess of 

 last year's stock. Both Mr. Craig and 

 his right-hand man, Duncan Macaw, 

 spoke highly of the two Lonsdale seed- 

 lings that they are trying out. Mr. Craig 

 said that they could not have too many 

 of the Edwin Lonsdale for the holidays. 

 Mr. Macaw placed the variety named 

 after the head of his company as in the 

 front rank. Robert A. Craig has two 

 new seedlings of his own that give prom- 

 ise, one believed to be an improved form 

 of Carrierei that holds its color better, 

 the other a more recent arrival, yellow 

 with red veins, distinct habit, very pleas- 

 ing in appearance. 



The new system of culture is being 

 tried on the crotons and gives promise 

 of excellent results. 



Varioot Notes. 



The Collingdale Greenhouses are a fac- 

 tor in young chrysanthemums, their stock 



of standards and novelties comprising 

 many popular sorts. 



The finishing touches are being put on 

 the flower store in the Hotel Edouard, at 

 Thirteenth and Walnut streets. It prom- 

 ises to be decidedly attractive.
