2Q PETER HENDERSON'S PLANT CATALOGUE. 



MIKANIA VIOLACEA. 



A climbing or creeping plant, witu very striking foliage of a purplish green — with a 

 velvet-like upper surface, under glossy carmine; though not a new plant, it is quite 

 scarce, having been only recently introduced here. It will be a most desirable plant f r 

 baskets, the color of the leaves being novel and different from anything else we have been 

 using for that purpose; it grows and roots freely. 



Price 50 cents each ; $4 50 per dozen. 



SOLLYA HETEROPHYLLA. 



A beautiful summer climbing plant, with bright blue flowers, growing to the height 

 of six feet, well adapted for covering trellis work where a neat, handsome climber is de- 

 sired. It is quite an old plant but now scarce. 



Price 50 cents each ; $4 50 per dozen. 



ASPIDISTRA LURIDA. 



Curious plants, remarkable for producing their flowers under the surface of the earth. 

 The leaves are six inches long, about two inches wide, and of a bright green, well adapt- 

 ed for wardian cases, ferneries, &c.

 rium," having white flowers, borne on large trusses during January and February. It is a
