RHODE ISLAND REDS 



C OUR RHODE ISLAND BEAUTIES, 



grown where the temperature is always 

 ten to thirty degrees cooler, were never 

 choicer than they are now. 



As a summer rose, nothing will give the value these 

 Beauties do — splendid, large buds ; good deep color, foliage 

 the very best, in all lengths from specials down, and in 

 quantity, too, so we can take care of large orders on short 

 notice.

Uention The Beriew when you write. 



Le Compte, with its distinct markings 

 of green and gold, appears in quantity 

 to me unknown; Edwin Lonsdale, with 

 its magnificent coloring of every shade 

 of red, commands deep admiration. 



The dracsenas have given great re- 

 sults this season, 7,000 from one propa- 

 gation, all safely potted now, with tri- 

 fling loss. Terminalis is the principal 

 variety, with Lord Wolseley leader in 

 the second division, followed by Man- 

 daiana and some more, whose names es- 

 caped me. The success of the dracaena 

 propagation has been remarkable, due, 

 William P. Craig informed me, to in- 

 tense culture of fresh canes. Dracaenas 

 in older stages were a fine sight, an im- 

 mense number in 4-inch and 5-inch, 

 ranging from eighteen inches high in 

 the former to twenty-seven inches in 

 the latter, above the pot, each size as 

 •even as a well kept lawn. Color, the 

 final goal in perfect dracaena culture, 

 must not be reached until growth is 

 complete, for color is arrested growth. 



The ferns come next in importance 

 among the Norwood specialties. There 

 are two immense blocks, one of Nephro- 

 lepis Scottii, the other of Nephrolepis 

 elegantissima improved, representing 

 the plain and crested tjrpes. Many of 

 these ferns are growing in the standard 

 medium size, 6-inch, giving promise of 

 fine stock in no time. Most interesting 

 ■was the propagating bench of each 



from which runners have been secured, 

 now full to overflowing, suggestive of 

 lots and lots of work in dividing and 

 potting and growing. 



There are other varieties of ferns, 

 specimens of Grandpapa Boston among 

 them. The list under glass is complet- 

 ed by a thrifty block of Areca 

 lutescens that have grown and are 

 growing with a vigor and rapidity con- 

 vincing of the advantages of life at 

 Norwood. 



Outside are rows of American Pillar 

 rose, showing magnificent growth; Ju- 

 niata, the new Walsh seedling, and 

 many more that have earned the grow- 

 ers' confidence. 



There can be no doubt that the plants 

 in the houses at Norwood prove that 

 a higher level has been reached in cul- 

 tivation. Robert A. Craig says this is 

 due to improved conditions; modesty 

 prevents his adding that this is also 

 due to improved methods. Those who 

 control the destinies of the place have 

 courage and skill that are reflected in 

 their work. 



Those who have known William P. 

 Craig as an irresistible precentor of 

 choice products will be interested to 

 know that he is quite as much in his 

 element at Norwood, dressed in regu- 

 lation greenhouse costume of a sleeve- 

 less garment that may be dignified by 

 the name of Jersey, whose merit con-
