100 PETER HENDERSON’S CATALOGUE. 
ALTERNANTHERA PARYCHOIDES 
MAJOR. 
This variety stands in the same relation to Alternantheras 
as the old Coleus Verschaffeltii does to the general variety 
of Coleus, being superior to all others in color—which is of 
a bright shade of carmine rose—which it retains from the 
first to last of the season. . 
25 cts. each; $2 25 per doz. 
ARECA BAUERII. 
Some of the finest Palms in cultivation are found in the Areca 
species. This variety is one of the most beautiful of them 
all, and should be grown by every one. It is of upright habit, 
somewhat like Seaforthia elegans, but its foliage is of a 
much darker and richer shade of green.

DOUBLE WHITE BOUVARDIA, 
‘“* Alfred Neuner.”

already valued as one of the best plants for cut-flowers, be- 
ing continually in bloom, and its double flowers lasting long 
after being cut.

it can be used effectively as a white line in ‘‘ribbon plant- 
ing,” vases, etc. ; 
20 cts. each; $2.00 per doz. 
BONAPARTIA JUNCEA. 
A very scarce genus of plants, with long, graceful, rush- 
like leaves; very attractive when grown in a vase out-of- 
doors in the summer. Flowers borne on large spikes. It 
requires a warm temperature in winter. 
50 cts. each; $4.50 per doz. 
BEGONIA REX. 
We offer twelve distinct new varieties, all of the most ap- 
proved types, selected from, probably, the finest collection 
in this country. : 
50 ets. each; $4.50 for set of 12; 2d size half price. 
BEGONIA ARGENTEA. 
Its silvery-looking leaves resemble the Rex varieties. This 
variety is now used for filling the best quality of stands and 
hanging-baskets.

BEGONIA METALLICA, 
This elegant variety has very large glossy leaves, shaded 
dark green and olive, with a peculiar metallic lustre over all. 
Large deep rose-colored flowers. 
Strong plants $1.00 each. 
BEGONIA GILSONI. 
This is the only fine double-flowered Begonia outside of the 
tuberous-rooted class. Flowers large and perfectly double. 
Color white, shaded carmine. Being a strong, robust grower, 
it makes a handsome specimen. 
Large plants, $1.00 each. 
BEGONIA, (Tuberous Rooted.) 
A comparatively new section of this beautiful tribe; 
flowers ranging through all the shades of crimson, scarlet, 
rose, orange, &c. They require the same treatment as the 
fancy-leaved Caladiums, Gloxinias, &c.; that is, the tubers 
are dried off in winter and started againin spring. Excellent 
for bedding purposes, as they bloom the entire summer 
season until frost. 
60 cts. each; $6.00 per doz. 
BEGONIA RUBRA. 
This is one of the finest acquisitions to our winter-flowering 
plants; the leaves are of the darkest green, the color of the 
flowers scarlet rose, glossy and wax-like. This peculiarity is 
so marked, that when plants are placed singly in a room the 
glossy appearance of the leaves and flowers give the impres- 
sion that they are artificial rather than natural.

BOUGAINVILLEA SPECTABILIS. 
This handsome plant is quite easily grown, thriving in 
almost any temperature that is higher than 40 degrees. It 
produces very freely large cone shape racemes of beautiful 
rose-colored flowers. Being of climbing habit, it probably has 
no equal for training to the rafters of conservatories or 
green-houses. The Bougainvillea has proved to be a very 
profitable plant to force forthe bloom during the winter. 
Strong plants, $1.00 each.
