PETER HENDERSON'S PLANT CATALOGUE. 



PKYSBANTHUS ALBENS. 



A beautiful climber, flowering during the summer and fall months. It is of rapid 

 growth ; the flowers are pure white, exceedingly useful for summer bouquets ; the seed 

 pods are as large as an orange and are very ornamental . 



Price 50 cents each ; $4 50 per dozen. 

 WISTARIA SENENSSS---Var. Allenii. 

 A new variety of this well-known hardy climber, differing from the old variety in 

 having darker flowers, which are developed with the leaves. The fault in the common 

 sort being that the flowers were produced before the leaves. To those who do not know 

 the Wistaria, we will say that it is perhaps the most magnificent of all hardy climbing 

 plants, climbing to a height of fifty feet or more, loaded to profusion with its racemes of 

 purple flowers, resembling in size and shape a bunch of grapes. This new sort, we be- 

 lieve, will prove a valuable addition. 



Price $1 each ; $9 per dozen. 



DIANTHUS QUERTEKI (German Pink.) 



This beautiful Pink we imporLed some five years ago, but it is yet very scarce. Few 

 plants we cultivate possess so many points of excellence ; it grows to the height of a 

 foot, flowers rich purplish crimson, two inches in diameter, double and well-formed ; it 

 blooms without intermission from June to January, and is an exceedingly useful plant 

 for bouquets ; clove scented. See cut. 



Price 00 cents each ; $3 per dozen. 



POLYGONUM SCANDENS. 



A trailing or creeping plant, suitable either for baskets or vases. The leaves are 

 small, round, bright green, and keep the foliage well in the parlor or sitting room in win- 

 ter doing well in the shade. 



Price 50 cents each ; §4 CO per dozen.
