Per plant. 

 Variegatum. Leaves dark green, blotched and spotted with gulden yel- 

 low 25 to 50 



Variegatum Elegans. Leaves dark green, striped with gold, mid-rib 



golden yellow 25 to 50 



Variegatum Rubruni. Leaves dark green, striped and spotted with red 



and golden yellow 25 to 50 



Johannis. The leaves are from twenty to twenty-four inches long, nar- 

 row and pendulous, ground color bright shining green, the margins 

 and mid-rib bright orange yellow, a beautiful variety 50 to 1 00 



Irregulare. Leaves broadest at the base, and tapering to an obtuse point, 

 about 9 inches long, and most diversified in shape, scarcely two 

 leaves resembling each other ; ground color dark green, mid-rib 

 orange yellow, with the upper surface of the leaf irregularly spotted 

 and blotched with yellow 50 to 1 00 



Lord Cairns. This has trilobate leaves, the middle lobe being considera- 

 bly elongated and with a broader expansion towards the point ; the 

 lateral lobes are unequally developed in the different leaves. The 

 color of the foliage is a bright green, the mid-ribs of the leaves a 

 light yellow, blotched and spotted with the same color, the spots and 

 blotches being irregularly scattered over the surface 50 to 1 00 



Majesticum. A truly grand variety, leaves from twelve to eighteen inches 

 long, somewhat narrow ; when young the leaves are deep green, 

 ribbed with golden yellow, the green changing with age into a deep 

 olive and the yellow becomes crimson 50 to 1 00 



Multicolor. Leaves irregular in shape, contracted in the centre and 

 twisted at the point, light green blotched with yellow, but changing 

 to glossy green blotched with yellow, reddish-yellow, and red, the 

 mid-rib crimson 50 to 1 00 



Spirale. The spiral leaves render it most distinct, they are from 9 to 12 

 inches in length, and about an inch wide and pendulous ; in a young 

 state the ground color is deep green, striped up the centre with a 

 broad band of golden yellow ; with age they change to a deep bronzy 

 green, and the mid-rib becomes a deep crimson 60 to 1 00 



Tortiiis, A remarkably fine variety with twisted foliage, very distinct. 

 The mid-rib of each leaf grows in a spiral from the base to the point. 

 The ground color is of a deep olive green, the mid ribs of the mature 

 leaves bright crimson, bordered on each side with a line of deep 

 yellow 40 to 1 00 



Volutum. A very distinct form, the leaves being rolled up from the end 

 in a volute, after the manner of the curving of a ram's horn. The 

 ground color is deep green, a golden bar runs down the centre, from 

 which yellow veins diverge at about half-inch intervals, and meet near 

 to, and so as to coalesce with, the golden margin, in which occur 

 scattered spots 50 to 1 00 



Veitchii. A splendid variety. The leaves attain a length of twelve to 

 fourteen inches, and two-and-a-half inches in breadth, and are tra- 

 versed by broad bands of creamy yellow, which change with age into 

 rose and carmine purple 50 to 1 00 



Undulatum. This is one of the most beautiful, the edges of the leaves 

 being beautifully undulated and wavy, and the variegation consisting 

 of numerous markings and blotches, which in the matured leaves are 

 of the brightest crimson on a dark green ground, and in the young 

 leaves, at first yellow, gradually changing to pink and crimson. .50 to 1 00 



Weismanni. This is one of the most beautiful of all the forms ; leaves 

 about a foot long and three-fourths of an inch wide ; ground color 

 shining bright green, striped and mottled with golden yellow.. ..50 to 1 00 



Chrysophyllum. At the upper ends of the shoots they appear to be almost 

 entirely golden. The upper leaves are shorter than the lower, some- 

 what wavy-edged, and occasionally about once twisted; the petioles 

 are red, and the bark of the young wood yellow. The peculiar style 

 of coloring, which might also be called golden-crowned 50 to 1 00 



Cornutum. This is a curious and handsome variety ; leaves irregular in
