8 PETER HENDERSON’S NEW WHOLESALE TRADE LIST. 
ASPARAGUS TENUISSIMUS. 
A beautiful plant of recent introduction, with delicate filmy foliage. Sprays of it are now extensively used in 
place of Maidenhair fern fronds, as it gives a better effect in cutflower work, and lasts longer after being cut. 
$6.00 per dozen, 
EUCHARIS SANDERI. 
A free-flowering variety of the well-known Eucharis Amazonica. Its flowers are a little smaller than in the 
older variety, but are produced so much more freely that it is far more valuable. For fine cutflower work it has no 
equal. $6 00 per dozen.
