PETER HENDERSON'S PLANT CATALOGUE. 



Rew Seedling, "Bfefeie iMfije/' 



•"THIS variety was awarded the premium as the best and most 

 (5j) distinct variety exhibited at the exhibition held in Phila- 

 ^ delphia in the fall of 1888, and we at once bought the entire 

 stock. It is, perhaps, the best example of the new race of quilled 

 varieties with broad petals, as shown in the cut. The color is a 

 silvery white at the base of the petals, gradually deepening to rosy 

 pink at the tips, the openings at the ends being deep claret. (See 

 cut.) Included in the First Premium Group— see page 116. 

 Price, 50 cts. each ; $4.50 per dozen.

(£arly (Collection* 



Although all of the Chrysanthemums are early 



enough to perfect their flowers in the open 



ground south of Baltimore, yet in the vicinity 



of New York and further north many of the late 



kinds sometimes do not; hence for such we 



name this Early Collection, for the benefit, par- 

 ticularly, of residents of extreme Northern

Spotted Ch^aqthemug, "Ceopaifd." 



The engraving gives an excellent idea of this most distinct va- 

 riety. The ground color is a deep shade of carmine, irregularly 

 splashed and spotted with pure white, entirely different from any- 

 thing else. It is of full average size, graceful form, and has the 

 great advantage of being one of the latest flowering kinds. (See cut.y
