PETER HENDERSON'S PLANT CATALOGUE 



NEW AND CHOICE VARIETIES. 



No garden of flowering plants is complete without a collec- 

 tion of these. In the six varieties named and described, a 

 type of which is shown by the illustration, we offer the best 

 and most distinct of the sorts of recent introduction, being 

 careful to select such as combine beauty of form, most dis- 

 tinct and brilliant colors, with vigor of growth, and free 

 flowering qualities. 



L. L. Lamborn. This magnificent variety is the finest white 

 introduced in many years ; of the purest white, deeply 

 fringed ; having flowers measuring 2)£ ins. and over in 

 diameter, never bursting the calyx. In profusion of bloom 

 it is remarkable ; plants of it in our grounds the past 

 season were constantly coverd with flowers. ( See cut.)

rosy carmine.

"White Bouquet, 



n 



An entirely novel and distinct variety. It is a sport from 

 B. Vreelandii, having, the same finely formed pure white 

 truss as that variety. It is distinct in being earlier in flower- 

 ing, but above all its great merit lies in its exceedingly dwarf 

 and rounded habit, forming a bush which resembles a white 

 Bouquet, the flowers nestling in the leaves, so that each indi- 

 vidual truss forms a miniature white bouquet. Por use as 

 a pot plant or to be grown on low front benches, its dwarf, 

 compact growth makes it most valuable. (See cut.) 



Price, large stock plants, 75 cts. each, S7.50 per doz. 



Young plants, 20 " " 2.00 



" President Cleveland." 



A " sport" from B. Elegans, and certainly the finest scarlet 

 crimson variety yet introduced. It surpasses all other red 

 varieties in richness of color, profusion of bloom and vigor 

 of growth, while it is fully one-third larger in the truss and 

 individual floret. It is in every respect a decided acquisition. 



Price, large stock plants, 75 cts. each ; $7. St) per doz. 



Young plants, 20 " " 2.00 



BOUVARDIAS-In variety. 



Double Pink. Like a miniature Tuberose ; delicate rosy pink. 

 Double White. Same as above, but pure white. 

 Davidsoni. White ; fine form ; fine variety for winter forcing. 

 Brunetti. Light blush ; exquisite in color and form. 

 Vulcan. Single scarlet. Certainly the most intense color 



in this species. 

 Bride. Beautiful deep pink : a grand sort to contrast with 



the others. 

 Victor Lemoine. Brilliant double scarlet. 50 cts. each. 



15 cts. each; $1.50 per dozen, except where noted. 

 Set of 9 sorts for $1.50.
