Bfl^^^^^^^gBw^^^^^SB 127 CROTONS. Nothing can excel the beauty and rich- ness of coloring that is found in this class of plants. They are beautiful as pot plants for the conservatory, making handsome speci- mens for decorative and exhibition purposes, and are now used extensively as bedding plants, for which purpose they are excep- tionally well adapted. They should be planted in full sun in a position where they can be liberally supplied with water, which develops the most wonderful colorings in the foliage. We enumerate below a few of the leading varieties, but can supply many other sorts: Andreanum. Deep green, with yellow and crimson markings. Baron James de Rothschild. Olive- green and yellow, changing to brilliant crimson. Aureum Haculatum. Long narrow foliage, with numerous yellow spots. Dayspring. Orange-yellow, edged with green and tinged with red. Disraeli. Leaves somewhat halbert- shaped; golden veins and ribs on a dark green ground. Evansianum. Tricolored leaves, richly veined and mottled. (See cut.) Fasciatum. Rich green, with golden-yel- low ribs and veins. Hawkeri. Large foliage, light creamy- yellow with bright green margin. Queen Victoria. Rich golden-yellow, mottled with green, midrib magenta changing to crimson. Reidii. Bright green foliage with golden midrib and veins passing into crimson cerise as the leaves mature. Veitchii. Bright green, marked and mot- tled with yellow and crimson. Weismanni. Dark shining green, golden midrib and edges. Price: 30 $ per doz. to 50 cts. each ; § to.
