PANAX LACINIATUM. 
An elegant and very distinct plant. 
The leaves are tinted and indistinctly marked with pale olive brown, and

of a complex head of foliage. 40 cents.

gracefully pendulous twisted leaves. The col- 
oration of the plant is distinct and striking. 
Some of the leaves are deep olive-green, with a 
golden yellow central band and crimson mid- 
rib; others are almost wholly yellow which be-

others again are spotted and blotched in vari-

* Challenger (Imperator), the variegation is very 
striking. The midribs are at first creamy 
white, which gradually become suffused with 
red, finally deepening to bright crimson car- 
mine. The ground color is light green, but 
much blotched and streaked with light yellow 
that takes a rosy tint as the midrib deepens in

*(Chrysopeecilus, a variety of bold habit, pre- 
presenting a curious and, at the same time, 
a striking instance of the peculiar coloration 
to which the foliage of Crotons is subject. 
The leaves are from 8 to 10 inches long and 
about 214 inches broad. The foot stalks and 
midribs are pale canary yellow, which is also 
‘spread over the blade on each side of the mid- 
rib in irregular bands, in some cases to two- 
thirds of the length of the entire leaf, in others 
more and in others again less; the remainder 
of the blade is deep olive-green, offering a pleas- 
ing contrast to the pale yellow of the central

*Cronstadtii, in color a deep glossy green varie- 
gated with bright golden yellow. They are 
twisted, curled, and crisped into a great vari- 
ety of forms. The depth and richness of its 
coloration together with its curiously decorated 
leaves renders this Croton a most distinct and 
interesting decorative plant. ‘A handsome 
plant with long, narrow twisted leaves, richly 
colored.” — Gardener's CRONE? .........cccrse eee senene 
*Evansianus, the newest formed leaves are light 
olive green with midrib and veins of golden 
yellow, and the inter-spaces spotted with the 
same color. As the leaves become older, the 
green deepens and changes to a bright bronzy 
crimson, and the golden yellow of the midribs, 
veins and spots become a rich orange searlet.... 
*Fasciatus (Mendersonii), the ground color is a 
very deep green, the principal veins being 
marked by bright yellow lines, interlacing near 
the edge, where, and especially near the point, 
the surface is chiefly yellow, with irregular 
small green spots. ‘Che midrib forms a brown-

*Croton Hanburyanus, the leaves are about 15 
inches in length and 244 inches in breadth. The 
ground color, a bright olive green in several 
shades, is, in many leaves, quite subordinate to 
the rich golden yellow and rosy crimson that 
suffuse the whole plant. All the leaves are 
beautifully marbled and blotched with these

* Hawkeri, it is of dwarf and compact habit. 
The coloring of the plant is very effective. The 
middle and lower portions of the leaves, to- 
gether with the footstalks, are light creamy 
yellow which spread over the greater part of 
the leaves, the extremities with the edges of 
the leaves only are bright green.........50 cts. to 
*Insignis, a fine form of great beauty. The 
leaves are marked with three striking and ef- 
fective colors; they are linear-oblong in form, 
the color deep green, with the midrib and veins 
beautifully picked out with golden yellow, the 
margins and midrib rosy crimson. In the old- 
er leaves the markings run in from the edge, 
and become suffused over the central bar. One 
of the most beautiful varieties yet introduced, 
*Macarthuri, the color is constant, but the 
markings on the different leaves are as varied 
as the forms assumed by the leaves themselves. 
The habit is excellen’, and the variegation, ful- 
ly one-half of which is yellow, is very striking. 
The midribs are yellow, and the bright green 
ground of the blades are spotted, blotched, 
flaked, and barred in infinite variety.............. 
* Magnificum (new), this variety is one of the best 
and most distinct. The leaves are long, average 
size, of a clear green shaded with bands of a 
bright yellow and purple. The old leaves are 
entirely variegated with this color, whereas the 
young ones are almost entirely yellow............. 
* Mortii, the leaves are of a very dark green 
color, being marked out by a band of golden 
yellow a quarter of an inch wide, and all the 
principal veins also being broadly marked with 
yellow; these latter markings meet near the 
edge, where there is a variegation of broken 
reticulated golden lines...........: Hidiceakad anemones 
* Nevilliz, when first expanded their mid-ribs 
are bright golden yellow, and the blades light 
olive-green barred and marked with yellow. 
In the mature leaves, the yellow is changed to 
crimson shaded with orange, and the green 
much deepened, the whole being suffused with 
a metallic hue peculiar to this plant................ 
* Queen Victoria, the ground color of the leaf 
is rich golden yellow, beautifully mottled with 
green; the mid-rib and the primary veins are 
of a rich magenta color, changing with age to 
a vivid crimson; the margin of the leaf is un- 
evenly banded with carmine, often extending
