CBOTOW.—(Codiceum.) 



These 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 valuable 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 Hor- 

 ticultural Society for some years, and first premium at the Cincinnati Exposition in September 

 last.
