t 'V-'V X V 'V- -V X 
Group of Fine Cri 
CROTONS. 
We know of nothing 
that can excel the 
beauty and richness of 
coloring tluit is found 
among Crotons, and 
they have many uses. 
They are beautiful as 
pot plants for the 
conservatory, making 
handsome specimens 
for decorative and ex- 
hibition purposes, and 
are now used exten- 
sively as bedding 
plants, for which pur- 
pose they are excep- 
tionally well adapted. 
They should be planted 
in full sun, in a posi- 
tion where they can be 
liberally supplied with 
water, which develops 
the most wonderful 
colors in the leaves. 
The brightest and most 
attractive beds in the 
parks of this and other 
large cities have, for 
the last few years, been 
formed entirely of Cro- 
tons. We have, per- 
haps, the largest and 
the choicest stock of 
Crotons in this coun- 
try, and think that we 
may offer it to the 
most fastidious of our 
customers with pardonable pride. The list of varieties will be found on the preceding page and in the columns below.
