Grotoqs. 
These are but little known among general collections ol? 
house plants, yet they are not exceeded in beauty of foliage 
by any foliage plant, not even Palms. The leaves are long- 
narrow and graceful, and are most charmingly spotted and 
variegated. The sorts we offer are hardy and vigorous and 
will succeed in any window. The cut gives a good idea of 
the beauty of a Croton, even when very small. 20c. each; £

producing in the greatest profusion the most delicate, sweet- 
scented Jasmine-like flowers of the purest white. A well- 
grown plant will be completely smothered with flowers as

seen cuttings only two or three inches long bearing clusters 
of .perfect flowers. 25c. each; 3 for 60c.
