In the collection was an Abutilon Santana, a new variety to me. I pot ted it very carefully in good soil, and after shading several days put it in a sunny cor ner of the pit. It looked thrifty, but grew very slowly until March, when I found two small buds. Of course, I pinched them off, for it was too small to bloom. My beds had been spaded and filled with rich woods earth, and were ready for the plants. April found all of the large plants in the beds ready for the season, among the number being Santana Abutilon. It soon outgrew its companions, and now, October l6th, has three branches five feet six inches high, and two more over four feet high. It is four inches in circumference at the ground, and has had over two hundred blossoms on it, and is still full of young buds. In color the flowers are lovely crimson, striped chocolate brown. It is a beautiful plant. Having had many of the plain green foli age class I do not hesitate to say Santana is the queen of them all. If the Abutilon has any insect enemies I have never found them, though the lady bugs are on the plants often, and I am told they are after scale and spiders.
