CROTON ELEGANTISSIMUS. 
One of the most charming and elegant varieties yet offered. The leaves are narrow, and of 
considerable length. The variegation is of a rich, bright golden colour, frequently occupying the 
whole basal half of each leaf, but sometimes extending along the centre, and occurring m distinct 
blotches. Hence the whole of the coloration near the growing point is pure chrome-yellow, and 
this contrasting strongly as it does with the bright red tint of the ^petioles, produces a very pretty 
effect. This variety was raised in Mr. W. B.’s establishment, and cannot fail to become a favourite 
for all decorative purposes. It was one of the new plants with which Mr. W. B. gained the First 
Prize at the International Horticultural Exhibition, held at Brussels. 7s. Orf. and 10s. 6<f.
