COCHLIOSTE MA. (Derived from kochlion, spiral, and

 Nat. ord. Commelinaceas.) Two very closely allied 

 stove perennials of handsome appearance. Seeds are 

 freely produced if the flowers are hand-fertilised, and 

 should be sown when ripe. A compost of fibrous loam, 

 peat, and leaf-mould in equal proportions, with some 

 sharp sand, will suit them admirably. Moist stove 

 treatment.

COCOA-NUT FIBRE. This material consists of the 

 outer covering of Cocos nucifera. The actual fibre is not 

 much used in gardens except for brushes, &c. ; it is the 

 refuse that is much appreciated, being used for the pro- 

 pagating frames (which see). It is also valuable as a 

 covering for all bulbs and other plants that want such 

 until they are well started into growth. And also for cover- 

 ing flower-beds to prevent evaporation of moisture. 

 Formerly it could be purchased at a very low price, but 

 in more recent vears it became much more expensive, 

 owing to other uses having been found for it.

CODL3E'UM. (Derived from Code bo, the native name 

 for C. variegatum, amongst the Malays. Nat. ord. 

 Euphorbiaceae.) 



Beautiful stove evergreens with variegated foliage, 

 requiring a moist atmosphere, and to be well exposed to 

 the light. Cuttings from the young tops in sand, loam, 

 and peat, and placed in a close frame with bottom-heat. 

 When potting, after they are rooted, some well-dried 

 stable dung may be added. Croton is the name that they 

 have been most generally known under in nurseries and 

 in gardens, but the above is now being adopted by many.
