CROTONS 



Nothing can excel the beauty and richness of coloring that is 

 found in this class of plants. They are beautiful as pot plants 

 for the conservatory, making handsome specimens for decorative 

 and exhibition purposes, and are now used extensively as bed- 

 ding plants, for which purpose they are exceptionally well 

 adapted. They should be planted in full sun in a position 

 where they can be liberally supplied with water, which develops 

 the most wonderful colorings in the foliage. Our collection em- 

 braces the handsomest new and standard varieties.
