PETER HENDERSON'S PLANT CATALOGUE. 



POMEGRANATE, DWARF, (" Punica Nana.")? 



A dwarf variety of Pomegranate, sent us from Louisville, Kentucky. It has the 

 peculiarity of flowering profusely, -while not more than a foot in height. Well grown 

 specimens grow about six feet in height by three feet in diameter ; plants of this size 

 in bloom are truly magnificent. The color of the flower is a peculiar shade of orange 

 scarlet, a very scarce color, brilliant in the extreme. The plant blooms from October to 

 December, and will be a great acquisition to our bouquet makers, as it is a shade that 

 at present they have nothing at all similar to. As it is deciduous, after blooming it can 

 be kept in a cellar or under the stage of a green-house, until it is time to start it to grow 

 again in May. In any of the States where the thermometer does not fall fifteen degrees 

 below freezing, it is likely to prove entirely hardy. Dr. Bell, of Louisville, an enthusi- 

 astic amateur cultivator of flowers, says of it, " I have cultivated a plant for a year. 

 It has justified all my expectations, continuing its wonderful profusion of bloom far into 

 the Winter months." 



Price, $1. each ; $9 per dozen ; $60 per hundred. 



ROSE, NEW HYBRID BOURBON, "PEERLESS." {See Colored Plate.) 



This Kose was raised by Matteo Donadi, of Astoria, L. I., together'with the one below 

 named, from seed, about four years ago I purchased the entire stock from him in May 

 of 1871, so that they are now for the first time offered for sale, he never having sold a 

 plant previous to that time. " Peerless" combines more good qualities than iscontained 

 in any other variety of Rose, to our knowledge. It is as entirely hardy as the Hybrid 

 Perpetuals, having the same delicious fragrance peculiar to that class ; it blooms as 

 freely as the Noisettes, having, like them, its flowers borne in immense clusters. The 

 flowers are very double, and of excellent form. The coloring is well shoyn in the plate, 

 but it is even more vivid in the living plant. One of the most experienced flowtir- 

 dealers of New York pronounces it the best market Rose ever offered.

ROSE, NEW WHITE TEA, "BELLA." ■ 



A pure white Tea Rose, of fine, healthy, and vigorous habit, which will be of great 

 value, not only for white Rose-buds in Summer, but in Winter. We have long felt the 

 want of a pure white Rose, of a bushy habit, for Summer flowers. Experiments made
