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.

 of thirteen, named after the •'Thirteen Original 

 States," which have won highest honora wher- 

 ever shown.
