NEW, RARE AND DESIRABLE STOVE PLANTS 
CROTON BROOIAPIELDIX. 
A richly-marked golden-variegated variety of great beauty. The leaves are nine or ten inches long, 
and about two and a half inches broad in the widest part. The green ground colour is very dark, but 
everywhere broken up by irregular yellow lines, spots, and blotches. The prineipal veins are moio 
distant than in many forms, and more disposed to assume an irregular course, so that the lines ot 
colour which they represent are less regular and formal than in some other kinds, while the variously 
shaped intermediate spaces arc marked over with fine lines and dots. The midrib has a slight tint o 
red, which helps to set off the yellow central band, and the margins are similarly tinted. 1 guinea.

CROTON OHELSONI. 
This Croton was introduced to this country from New Guinea. It is a remarkably elegant narrow- 
leaved form of high and rich coloration. The leaves are sometimes plane, sometimes twisted spirally, 
and in this latter state the variegation shows up most distinctly, being of a bright salmony orange 
tint, shaded with crimson. From its narrow drooping leaves it is one of the most graceful of Crotons, 
.and' can be highly recommended for decoration and e.xhibition. This was one of the twelve New 
Plants with whicli Mr. W. B. gained the First Prize at the International Horticultural Exliibition, 
held at Dundee, in 1876. 10s. 6il.

CROTON FORMOSUS. 
A remarkably handsome hybrid variety of moderate growth. The leaves are flat, lance-shaped, about 
a foot long and an inch and a half broad ; the leaf-stalks crimson, the leaf-blade bright green, with 
a pale yellow central bund running out into veins or small irregular blotches ; the principal veins are 
yellow, enclosing oblong areoles, while the marginal veins, which are also yellow, are more closely 
reticulated, the surface being here and there sprinkled with yollow 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. One of the finest of all the Crotons. It was one of the New Plants with which 
Mr?B. gained the Fii-st Prize at the International Horticultural Exhibition, held at Carlisle in 1877, 
ami afthc Provincial Show of the Royal Horticultural Society, held at Preston in 1878. 1 guinea.

CROTON HEROICUS. 
An attractive hybrid of the Bismarck type. It has obovate leaves, having the front part narrowed 
so as to approach the trilobate form. The colour is bright green freely marked with deep yellow, the 
central bar and the veins, and in many cases the half, or even the whole of the leaf-surface being 
yellow, and this more or less flushed in some leaves, or more distinctly lined in others with a tint ot 
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.
