Each. 



Lancifolius. The leaf is dark green, the mid-rib, margin and primary veins pale yellow, 

 which, as the plant attains its character, becomes reticulated with bright rosy pink ; 

 the whole of the leaf presenting a very charming mosaic appearance $0 60 to 1 00 



Nevillise. 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 $0 50 to 1 00 



Evansianus. The newest formed ipaves are light olive green with mid-ribs 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 mid-ribs, veins and spots becomes a rich orange scar- 

 let." $0 50 to 1 00 



Hanburyanus. "The leavps are about 15 inches in length and 1\ 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 tints." $0 50 to 1 00 



Mortii. "The leaves are of a very dark green color, being marked out by a band of 

 golden yet low a quarter of an inch wide, and all the principal veins also bein £ broadly 

 marked with yellow ; these latter markings meet near the edge, where there is a 

 variegation of broken reticulated golden lines." $0 50 to 1 00 



"Williamsii. This is one of the red-tinted series, very strongly flushed with violet crim- 

 son. The leaf has a central band and costa of yellow, from which the pinnate veins 

 of the same color branch out on either side. These veins all change to deep crim- 

 son, and the whole plant becomes flushed with a glowing tint of crimson, shaded 

 with violet, which renders it extremely conspicuous 1 00 



Princess of Wales — (Glo?ious). This is one of the long-leaved drooping forms of Cro- 

 ton. The leaves are from 1| to 2 feet in length, sometimes plane and sometimes 

 strongly undulnted. The ground color is green, and the variegation creamy-yel- 

 low, very variable in character. In some there is a creamy-yellow mid-rib, with a 

 band on each side; in others, the mid-rib is bright green..."...' 1 00 



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 excellent, and 

 the very striking variegation, fully one-half of which is yellow. The mid-ribs are 

 yellow, and the bright green groi/nd of the blades are spotted, blotched, flaked, 

 and barred in infinite variety SO 51) to 1 00 



Variabilis, (Falcatus.) A robust variety. It has long leaves, marbled and blotched 

 with different shades of yellow, orange and crimson. The leaves, both in color and 

 shape, are very variable ; some are straight, others recurved, falcate or often dis- 

 torted, their surface being either smooth or undulated $0 50 to 1 00 



Fasciatus, (Hendersonii.) The ground color is a very deep green, the principal veins 

 being marked by bright yellow lines, interlacing near the edge, where, and espe- 

 cially near the point, the surface is chiefly yellow, with irregular small green spots. 

 Th • mid rib forms a brownish yellow band $0 50 to 1 00 



Queen Victoria. The ground color of the leaf is rich golden yellow, beautifully mot- 

 tled 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 unevenly banded 

 with carmine, often extending as far as the mid-rib $0 50 to 1 00 



Challenger, (Imperator.) The variegation is very striking. The mid ribs are at first 

 creamy white, which graduallj- becomes suffused with red, finally deepening to 

 bright crimson carmine. The ground color is light green, but much blotched 

 and streaked with light yellow that takes a rosy tint as the mid-rib deepens in 



color $0 50 to 1 00

BERTALONIAS. 



*Van Houteii. Has the leaves of a rich olive velvet ground color, traversed broadwise 

 by large bars of beautiful magenta red, and dotted all over with thousands of spots
