Some of the forms are grown primarily for bloom, and they are practically continuous-flowering when well handled; the variegated-leaved forms are grown for foliage and used more or less for bedding-out. Abutilons make good pot-plants if kept within bounds by pinching back so that they will branch. A. megapotamicum and some others are useful for baskets and vases. The showy A. insigne is an excellent rafter-plant. − − Propagation is by cuttings or seeds. Cuttings may be made in spring of new wood from old plants that have been cut back, or they may be taken in fall; as the abutilon is active practically all the year, the cuttings may be taken almost at will. Seeds grow readily; if started in March, blooming plants should be had by fall. Bedding material is raised from early-Struck cuttings. − − − Abutilon Index − compactum − Darwinii − floribundum − grandiflorum − Hildebrandii − hybridum − igneum − insigne − longicuspe − marmoratum − megapotamicum − pictum − pleniflorum − Savitzii − Selloanum − Sellovianum − sinense − spurium − striatum − tessellatum − Thompsonii − venosum − vexillarium − vitifolium − − }} Line 69:
