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. We enumerate below a few of 

 the leading varieties, but can supply many 

 other sorts : 



Andreanum. Deep green, with yellow 

 and crimson markings. 



Baron James de Rothschild. Olive- 

 green and yellow, changing to brilliant 

 crimson.

 foliage, with numerous yellow spots. 



Dayspring. Orange-yellow, edged with 

 green and tinged with red.

 shaped; golden veins and ribs on a dark 

 green ground.

 veined and mottled. (See cut.)

 low ribs and veins. 



Hawkeri. Large foliage, light creamy- 

 yellow with bright green margin. 



Queen Victoria. Rich golden-yellow,

 changing to crimson.

 cerise as the leaves mature.

 tled with yellow and crimson.

DAPHNE ODORA. 



An old favorite greenhouse plant, with rich deep evergreen 

 foliage and terminal heads of richly perfumed waxy-white tinted 

 purple flowers. This plant, though well known, is now but 

 rarely seen, and we consider ourselves fortunate in being able 

 to offer a limited stock of strong plants at §1.00 each.
