Castor Beans, Carman's Hybrids. Thorburn. 



Two years ago Mr. Carman crossed the several so-called Ricinus, 

 known in catalogues as Cambodgensis, Africanus, Gibsonii, Sanguin- 

 eus, etc. Many of the resulting hybrids are remarkable in several re- 

 spects. Some of them grow tall and branching as Sanguineus, with 

 variously colored stems, and foliage even darker than that of either 

 Gibsonii or Cambodgensis. Others are dwarfs, growing only to the 

 height of two or three feet, with leaves of lustrous metallic shades, 

 varying from a copper-red to dark bronze.
