PETER HEXDERSOX S PLAXT CATALOGUE. 



GBBANIUJI, BLUE BELLS. 



This beautiful variety (not quite a blue, however), we now offer the past two 

 seasons, after a thorough trial of its bedding qualities. The color is a very rich shade 

 of Magenta pink, individual blossoms very large, and the size of the truss immense, 

 much larger than that of anyjpinfc variety that we know of. 



Price, 50 cents each; $4.50 per dozen. 



GEBANIUM, MBS. POLLOCK.— Golden .Tricolor. 



The ground color, or rather the disc of the leaf, is deep green : next comes a zone 

 of bronze crimson, the margin of which is tinted with scarlet ; then again a belt of 

 lighter green, the margin of the leaf being clear yellow. As an ornament for the parlor 

 or conservatory, nothing yet excels this beautiful plant ; the flowers are dark scarlet, 

 in good-sized trusses, borne on short foot-stalks but a few inches above the leaves. It 

 succeeds well in the open border in early Summer and in Fall, but during the hot 

 mouths of July and August loses, to some extent, the rich coloring of the leaves. Our 

 stock of this valuable plant is large, so that we are enabled to offer it at low rates. 

 Tha leaves are now much used in bouquets in Winter. 



Price, 30 cents each ; $3 per dozen ; $24 per hundred.
