CROTON EMINENS. 
A dense-habited free-giowing hybrid variety. The leaves are closely set, broadly lance-shaped, 
diapered at the apex to an aente point ; they are of a bright glossy green, with an ivory-coloured 
raid-rib, and a portion of the lateral veins of the same colour. Tlic contrast is very striking and 
•clfective. 15s. 
CROTON PORMOSUS. 
A handsome hybiid variety of moderate growth. The leaf-stalks are crim.son, the leaf-blade bright 
green, with a pale yellow central band running out into veins or small irn-gular blotches ; the 
principal veins are yellow, enclosing oblong areoles, while the marginal veins, which are ahso yellow, 
arc more closely reticulated, the surface being here and there S 2 >rinkled with yellow spots. These 
yellow portions take on at a later period a glowing crimson hue, the midrib and margin especially being 
■of a bright magenta-crimson. It was one of the New Plants with whiedi Mr. AV. B. gained the First 
Prize at the International Horticultural Exhibition, held at Carlisle, and at the Provincial Show of 
the Royal Horticultural Society, held at Preston. 7s. 6(7. and 10s. 6(7.

CROTON HEROICUS. 
An attractive hybrid of the Bismarcki type. It has ohovate leaves, having the front part narrowed 
:so as to approach the trilobate form. The colour is bright green freely marked with deep yellow, the 
the central bar and the veims, and in many cases the half, or even the whole of the leaf-surface being 
yeUow, and this more or less flushed in some leaves, or more distinctly lined in others with a tint of 
rosy crimson. When regularly yellow-barred, and marked with yellow veins, and these parts also 
striated with crimson veins, the leaves are particularly handsome. 1 guinea.

CROTON INSIGNIS. 
A fine form of gieat beauty, with long narrow foliage. The leaves are linear-oblong in form, the 
colour deep gi-ecn, with the midrib and veins beautifully picked out with golden-yellow, the margins 
and midrib rosy crimson. In the older leaves the markings run in from the edge, and become suflused 
over the central bar, in which state it is very handsome. This was one of the twelve New Plants with 
which Mr. W. B. gained the First Prize at the Great Show of the Royal Horticultural Society, held 
at Kensington in 1880. 1 guinea.

CROTON KINGIANUS. 
Probably the noblest and grandest form of this extremely varied and remarkably beautiful group of 
plants that has yet been obtained. It is indeed a magnificent object, which once seen would not be 
easily forgotten. The immense leaves are obloug-obovate, twelve to eighteen inchb in length, and 
five to eight inches in breadth, brilliantly marked with golden variegations. The ground colour is a 
deep green, on which is displayed a series of coloured reticulations ; the principal veins arc distant 
and pass from the mid-rib nearly to the edge, wiiero they arch to meet each other, exterior to which 
they become more closely reticulated, and all picked out in gold. 7s. 6(7. and 10s. 6(7. 
CROTON LACTEUS, 3s. 6(7. | CROTON LANCIFOLIUS, 5s. 
CROTON LINEARIS. 
A small-growing variety of remarkably neat habit. The leaves are from four to six inches long, 
linear, usuaUy obtirsc, but sometimes narrowed to the point, dark green, with a yellow midrib and a 
few lateral blotches of the same colortr, occasionally almost wholly yellow. 1 6s.
