CROTON.—{ Codiceum.) 



These very ornamental plants are natives of the South Sea Islands ; they are 

 among the most beautiful of variegated plants, the leaves being blotched with 

 yellow and red in various ways, which renders them most attractive and valu- 

 able for decorative purposes. They are of the easiest culture, succeeding in 

 any warm greenhouse. 



Our rich collection of Crotons has been awarded the leading prizes by the 

 Maryland Horticultural Society for some years, and first premium at the Cin- 

 cinnati Exposition in September last.
