CYPERUS. 



CROTONS. 



Nothing can excel the beauty and rich- 

 ness of coloring that is found in this class of 

 plants. They are beautiful as pot plants for 

 the conservatory, making handsome speci- 

 mens for decorative and exhibition purposes, 

 and are now used extensively as bedding 

 plants, for which purpose they are excep- 

 tionally 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. Undoubtedly the most interest- 

 ing and showiest bedding in our Philadel- 

 phia parks, the past few years, was m.ule 

 with this plant. We enumerate below a few 

 of the leading varieties, but can supply many
