Crotons (Codiaems). 
For brilliancy and variation of colouring, there are probably no foliage plants that can 
equal the Crotons. The varying width of the leaves, from extremely narrow, through medium 
to broad, together with the fact that many of them are beautifully twisted, arching and pen-, 
dulous, whilst others, particularly the broad-leaved varieties, are of stiffer habit, give these) 
lovely plants a great v ariety of "character. As decorative plants for the Stove, for Table 
Decoration and Exhibition, the Croton occupies a high position. 
A stove temperature, with abundance of atmospheric moisture, is required to grow these! 
plants. They should be potted in good fibrous loam with sufficient sharp silver sand to keep) 
it open. Grow in the lightest part of the house and syringe frequently. When intended to 
be used for table or conservatory decoration they should be gradually hardened, as any sudden 
change may cause the leaves to drop. 
We make a speciality of Crotons, our collection embraces the finest and richest coloured ; 
varieties yet introduced.
