PETER HENDERSON'S PLANT CATALOGUE. 



ACHYRANTHES LINDENII. 



Without doubt the finest acquisition that has been made to our collection of foliage 

 plants in the last half dozen years ; extensive planting of it last Summer justifies us in 

 saying that it will rank among the highest of leaf plants. In habit it is dwarf, and 

 completely branched from the root with narrow, lanceolate leaves of a deep blood-red 

 color, reflecting varying tints of red and purple, and displaying its most attractive 

 features during the entire Summer months. A most striking effect is produced by plant- 

 ing in alternate lines Achyranthcs Lindenii, with any of the varieties of the Centaurea, 

 or other light-foliaged plants. 



Price, 25 cents ; $2.25 per dozen ; $15 per hundred 



ACHYRANTHES VERSCHAFFELTXI, VAR, GILS0NI1. 



The great fault with the original species was the dull crimson shade, inferior to 

 Coleus, and other plants of dark foliage, but in the variety Gilsonii the color of the leaves 

 is a carmine, rather than a crimson, with the stems of a deep shade of pink, giving to 

 the plant a bright and lively appearance, far surpassing the old variety. It is also of 

 dwarfer and denser growth, and we consider it a decided improvement, so much so that 

 we have entirely discarded the original variety. 



Price, 25 cents each. ; $2.25 per dozen ; $15 per hundred.
